I would have thought "-v" meant "match any changes which do not have
this pattern". But you want "match any changes that have any line which
does not have this pattern."

Yours could be "-L/--without-match" (in grep, -L/--files-without-match
only prints the names of files containing no match).

Ah, yes, that would be better. I think we decided that Brian's original
problem didn't really work with -S, and I don't actually need this
behavior enough to implement it. But your suggestion is a good one if
somebody cares to do so.
