Keep running into this, which was reported by someone else 1362(!) days

This really gives me the feeling that the GNU project is slowly dying.

Dear Norbert,

this bugged me a few years ago when I needed to compare full filesystem 
backups (of my old Maemo). I hope to get back to my old patches but if 
you are interested (or anyone else), please see 
https://debbugs.gnu.org/db/19/19508.html (bug #19508, "[PATCH] diff: 
compare major, minor numbers of block/character special files")

Not sure if this was my only attempt. I believe I even got a response 
from a maintainer, only the patch set was not finished (or even good 
enough) so it was not accepted.

Regards,
Ondra Svoboda

A simple workaround is to use '-x S.gpg-agent'.

It'd be nice if someone would write a patch; do you have the time to write one? 
It is a volunteer project, after all, and not everyone has the same needs.
