Hi,

I wonder if it's possible to exclude a dir from the diff. I want to get some diffstats from Linux tree

git diff v2.6.35..v2.6.36-rc3 --stat
but without drivers/staging/ dir. Is it possible?

Regards, Jan

It's not possible to exclude with git diff/grep, but you can do somtehing like that :

find . -type f ! -path "./drivers/staging/*" | xargs git diff v2.6.35..v2.6.36-rc3 --stat
