I'd rather see the behaviour match existing commands with path
restriction, like diff-tree, diff-cache, and diff-files.  That
is, to take a list of paths and limit your output to those that
match one of them.  I do not think this enhancement would
negatively affect your stated use of getting one entry with the
exact match.
