I suppose since this version of ctags has an option to avoid clobbering the tags file on a second invocation, I can use xargs...unless there's whitespace or something in a filename somewhere.


Slightly off-topic, but xargs doesn't have any problem with typical
whitespace in file names; the main issue is _newlines_ in filenames.

Isn't this only true if you used the -0 flag?
eg:

find . -name "*.cpp" -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644
