As I mentioned in IRC, this is actually important for scalability, since I think 'visitdir' has to return True for any negatematcher, since it can't know what is or isn't relevant to the underlying matcher.

It could actually return False if the underlying matcher returns 'all'.
I now realize that that value is poorly documented. What 'all' actually means is not just that all subdirectories should be visited, but also that all files in them match. See use in treemanifest._match(). I should fix the docstring...
