When using a diff utility to find differences between two subdirectories,
for example, an svn branch and the trunk, you can have the diff program
ignore files.  This is useful to avoid diffs caused by object files,
executables, or svn tracking files.

The following file can be fed into diff to have it ignore files that
match any of the patterns listed.
