How about rsync's --only-write-batch/--read-batch?
great
this is the closest as it gets to what i wanted
only caveat, is that if the system is modified, it will not merge like
'patch' does
however, i can live with this

Simple solution:
1. diff -N, --new-file treat absent files as empty
Comprehensive solution:
2. create git repository on rootfs and work with git init, commit,
diff, git-format-patch, am

I was just about to write the same suggesting,
on my current Android ROM (OmniROM) i have update system called OpenDelta
which use xdelta to create the the update images.
you can look at the code in github -

to make it clear:
i need to compare two directory trees - old and new, both holds files,
binaries, special files, symbolic and hard links. and create a patch
file
than, on another system which has a copy of the old dir tree (and
possible some modifications), i need to patch it to make it a 'new'
