Yes, I certainly agree. From a quick glance it seems to do exactly the
same thing (and both take inspirations from scripts already floating
around on the net); I guess that is a sign that it is an idea whose time
has come! :-)

The major difference is that Tim's version generate the list of files
and then extract them, whereas my current version piggybacks on
the external diff interface (as you suggested in one of the previous
reviews). Which of these approaches -- if any -- has the most merit
I think depends on the plans for that interface.

But until that's decided upon, it would have been nice if a version
could hang out in contrib/ to gather some experience.
