Ah, woops.

I looked at the manual page but I searched for the word 'ignore' rather
than 'exclude' so I completely missed the section documenting the
availability of this option.

Lets turn this into a bug about that instead. I would suggest replacing
"Exclude" with "Exclude/ignore" within the docs about the options that exclude some parts of the diffoscope output.
