Add negation to list and exactlist filters

The list and exactlist filters allow you to specify a list of pages you want to see in a dump, but sometimes it's useful to be able to find all pages in a dump except for a specific list of pages. "grep -v" if you will.

Included is a simple patch that does this.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2007-10-15 20:09:39 UTC
Indeed, that would be useful at times...

I'd be inclined to use --filter=exclude:blah instead of --filter=list:!blah though; '!' is annoying to type on a Unix command line since you have to be extra careful quoting it, so perhaps better not to expand use of it.

Good point. Is this any better?
