Jan "jast" Krüger pointed out on #git that

  git log $(git merge-base --all A B)

is exactly the set of commits reachable from both A and B; so there's
your intersection operator :-)

So it would seem that a much simpler approach is

  git rev-list $(git merge-base --all master $positive) --not $negative

avoiding the boundary handling and special-case.  It relies on the
(weird?) property that $(git merge-base --all A B1 B2 ...) shows the
merge bases of A with a hypothetical merge of B1, B2, ..., which is just
what you need here.
