You _ought_ to be able to just say:
$ git-ls-files --others --exclude-from=<exclude pattern file>
and be done with it. Also please see the thread about Cogito and StGIT's use of .gitignore and .git/exclude files.
The current implementation of "git-ls-files" exclude mechanism may have rooms for improvements; the last time I checked, it only did the matching of patterns against filename without leading directories). The world will be a better place if somebody extends it, instead of working around its limitation.
I may be tempted to doing it myself, but I'm in the middle of something else, so ...

It does not matter since the above is just an example and I think you should be able to just use "ls-files --others", but just FYI, you could have written "comm -23 .tree1 .tree2" above instead of "diff -u".
