Some commands like 'log' default to HEAD if no other revisions are
specified on the command line or otherwise. Unfortunately, excludes
(^<rev>) cancel out that default, so when a command only excludes
revisions (e.g., 'git log ^origin/master'), the command will not produce
any result.
If all the specified revisions are excludes, it seems more useful to
stick with the default revision instead.
This makes writing wrappers that exclude certain revisions much easier:
for example, a simple alias l='git log ^origin/master' will show the
revisions between origin/master and HEAD by default, and 'l foo' will
show the revisions between origin/master and foo, as you would usually
expect.
