 Hi,

this one's rather old; seems like I completely overlooked it. Anyway,
-I/-X options to filterdiff which take file of patterns to
include/exclude don't sound like a bad idea.

Hi,

I'm currently fooling around with making kernel-source-2.4.27 package
and I need to rediff a lot of patches. So I'm currently bruteforcing it
by patching it, looking at the failures, and excluding them for later.
I have a file 'wontpatch' which I generated by doing

patch --dry-run -p1  debian/patches/patch-2.4.26-1 21 |
awk '/saving rejects to/ { gsub(.rej$, , $12); print $12 }' 
wontpatch

and that file now contains

drivers/char/drm/drmP.h
drivers/hotplug/Makefile
drivers/ide/Config.in
drivers/ide/ide-disk.c
drivers/sound/i810_audio.c
drivers/usb/hiddev.c
include/linux/rtnetlink.h
net/Makefile
net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_MASQUERADE.c
net/ipv6/udp.c

If I could recreate the diff without those files by just passing an arg
to that file, that would be awesome.
