[PATCH] Add git-rev-list --invert-match

[Bart Trojanowski <bart@jukie.net>]

Example usage:

  git log --invert-match --grep="uninteresting"

  This command will prune out all commits that match the grep pattern.

How it works:

  The --invert-match flag sets invert_match, in rev_info.  This boolean
  is later checked in commit_match() and if set it inverts the result of
  grep_buffer().

This patch includes the Documentation update I missed in the first
patch.
