Package: diffoscope Version: 87 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
It's usually more convenient to give tarballs than to extract them and pass directories to diffoscope. But then the difference between the two containers are displayed, while one might not care about those differences. It might actually be true with directories too, where differences about file stats might be shown that are otherwise unwanted. I tried --exclude "file list" as suggested on irc, but that didn't work. An option that allows to ignore at least the first-level of file lists would be useful.
