There is also dircmp. It uses rsync for directory comparison. I guess that makes it quite fast, but that means comparison is not under control of Emacs. I think it still offers most of what you want. Filters are not supported, but I guess that could be added. I also think that it would be nice to improve Ediff in this regard. Personally I don't like to hack Ediff, though, it was always not nice when I tried that. Michael.
