IMHO, the -N option (+new-files) would be more useful if it would
affect only files in the new directory. New files would get inserted
in the diff, deleted files would not.
This is especially useful when using shadowed source trees where it
doesn't make any sence to include unchanged files in the diff (which
occurred to me when I got some 20 MB diffs where there really were
only a few changes).
The following simple fixes implement this change.

to affect neither label, just the first file's label, or both labels.
A file's default label is its name, a tab, and its modification date.
! -N in directory comparison, if a file is found in only one directory,
! treat it as present but empty in the other directory.
-p equivalent to -c -F'^[_a-zA-Z]'. This is useful for C code
because it shows which function each change is in.
