I run to this problem some time ago. I need to parse to trees, but
only the source files (*.[hcS]). I see some find solutions, but that
don't work for me since I have new files created on modified
tree. Best solution would be patch diff. So here I am.

This patches add a new option (--only=REGEX) that parse only files
that match such regexp. Multiple regexps can be used and they will be
OR'ed. Also, --exclude is processed before --only, so will can still
exclude files before they match REGEX.

This commit don't update man pages and info docs, I looking for it.

Cheers,
>8---------------------8<
* src/diff.h: XTERN only_regexp added.
* src/diff.c: global only_regexp_list, and ONLY_OPTION added.
              "only-that-matches" element added to longopts.
              Help string added to global option_help_msgid array.
* src/diff.c: (main) only_regexp_list.buf initalized.
              ONLY_OPITON processed on options loop
* src/dir.c:  (dir_read) Added an `if' to process --only option. Was
              added after --exclude processing. This way user can
              exclude files that still match --only REGEX.

This feels like feature bloat.  What's wrong with using 'find' to locate
the subset of files you are interested in, then running diff on those fil=
es?

It's a bit messy to work around with find:

  find a/ b/ -type f -printf "%P\0" | sort -zu | xargs -0 -n1 -i% diff
-Nu a/% b/%

Daniel's proposed feature makes this easier and more efficient (as diff won't
be invoked for each file), so it looks good to me.

Thanks,
Andreas

I would need to find every file that, exist on one tree and not on
another. This mean getting a list of files on two trees and comparing, what is complex,
error prone and slower.
