You made quick responses to reviews with "will change", so I am not queuing this round to my tree; please don't mistake that as my indifference or opposition to the topic. This sounds like a good thing. As to the semantics of mixing positives and negatives, I would recommend this to follow how positive and negative pathspecs mix. IIRC we chose to use the most simple and easy to explain option, i.e. a thing must match at least one of the positives and must not match any of the negatives to be considered a match.
