I'd like to have a careful look at this but haven't found time/energy
yet. So just a minor comment. Please use the term <pathspec> instead
of <pattern>. Exclude pattern has complete different syntax than
pathspec and --exclude followed by "pattern" may give wrong
impression.

I'd also avoid reuse "-x" if it's common for exclude patterns, but
finding a new letter may be difficult. Keep in mind this feature in
the long run benefits more commands than just git-grep and ideally
they should all use the same letter for short option name.
