I send a patch to add path exclude option to du.
I think it could be useful to more people.
MOTIVATION:
I use xdiskusage to view disk space usage.
xdiskusage uses du to calculate file and dir sizes.
When I want to make a backup of my system I use this tool to inspect where is
my disk space going and how much it would size.
I got some big dirs that I want to exclude from reports (media files, backup
files...) because make more diffult to view how much disk space uses the real
data.
I could no use the --exclude option because it exclude files by basename, and
not by path.
So I made this patch.
txemi.

As noted, there is a way to exclude things from du currently. Rather
than complicating du with additional layers of file selection, I suggest
using find + -print0 to select the desired files, and du --files0-from=-
to calculate their usage. The find command already has a rich language
for selecting & excluding files based on a variety of criteria.
