I send a patch to add path exclude option to du.
I think it could be useful to more people.
MOTIVATION:
I use xdiskusage to view disk space usage.
xdiskusage uses du to calculate file and dir sizes.
When I want to make a backup of my system I use this tool to inspect where is
my disk space going and how much it would size.
I got some big dirs that I want to exclude from reports (media files, backup
files...) because make more diffult to view how much disk space uses the real
data.
I could no use the --exclude option because it exclude files by basename, and
not by path.
So I made this patch.
txemi.
