There's a difference between "skip commits that touch anything
directory foo even if it also touches something outside of foo" and
"skip commits that _only_ touches something in foo". Not sure which
way Phillip wants here. Negative pathspec only supports the latter.
The former needs a new option in rev-list, because the logic to
consider a commit not a match if it matches a pathspec is out of
tree_entry_interesting()'s control.
