I'm saying that selections are a more general idea, rather than a
different idea. It should eventually provide what you want. It would
allow you to select on both file boundaries and type-of-change
boundaries. So if the file boundary is "all files," and the
type-of-change boundary is "metadata only," it does the same thing as
--metadata.

The feature doesn't exist yet, so Aaron's suggestion is probably the
best approximation for now.
