Filter log based on paths NOT touched

I can't seem to find a way to invert the meaning of a pathspec given to git log in order to find commits touching anything BUT a given path. Does such a thing exist?

Not yet (look for "negative pathspec").

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.

I'm looking for the latter. Specifically I'm trying to see what changes to the upstream code a debian package has made so I need to ignore commits that only change things in debian/.
