Hi,

I suspect that with this patch,

	git rev-list --not --grep bugfix HEAD

does not work as expected. Why? Because the --not is heeded when 
interpreting "HEAD". And that is confusing, because you use --not for two 
completely unrelated things.

Why not make "git rev-list --grep '!bugfix' HEAD" work?

Yes, you would have to have a special exception that the prefix "!!" 
actually matches an exclamation mark, but I'd be willing to live with 
that.

Ciao,
Dscho
