That was the idea, the problem being that currently,

I met these kinds of problems too ; but it is not
only for the x/x.in problem, there are also some C
files which are created by the make, some others are
never of interest for being included in a diff, etc.

To solve this, the "-X" option of diff is your (great)
friend, e.g.:
diff -r --brief -N -X ~/TeXmacs/Patch/Patches/exclude.lst $1 $2

With 'exclude.lst' being:
{
CVS
plugins
*.o
*.h.*
*.c.*
*.hpp.*
*.cpp.*
*.scm.*
*.xpm.*
*.old.*
*.bak.*
debug.hpp
debug.cpp
tm_configure.hpp
init-texmacs.scm
config.in
config.h
autom4te.cache
}

As you can see, this prevents a lot of address@hidden to land
inside your diff files.
