I think the simplest were that --except trumps everything and means
"whatever else I say, do as if I did not mention the following".

=> master next

What should the following mean? Does --not forget that --except was
earlier on the command line?
(4) Y next --except master next --not --branches
this => Y --not maint
or this => Y --not maint master next
What about this:
(5) --branches --except ^master
this => maint next
or this => maint master next ^master
or error("--except does not allow negated revisions")
