hm, true, however this is exactly the documented behaviour:
-x PATTERN
Exclude files matching PATTERN. All other lines in the input are
displayed.
Maybe it shouldn't do that unless -v is explicitly specified, or
alternatively there could be a negative version of -v (--no-verbose or
something).
For now there's a simple workaround: just do filterdiff |filterdiff -x
(or the other way round).
