 Introduce "negative pathspec" magic, to allow "git log . ':!dir'" to
 tell us "I am interested in everything but 'dir' directory".

A bit off topic, but that command does not work as-is. We need '--' to
separate pathspec.

$ ./git log . :\!t
fatal: :!t: no such path in the working tree.
Use 'git <command> -- <path>...' to specify paths that do not exist locally.

Something to be improved later..
