The -f option of gtags assumes find(1) command.
You can invoke gtags with find like follows:

      find path/first/project path/second/project -type f -print | gtags -v -f -

I think that you should leave the selection of file list to some independent 
command
like find(1). Find(1) has RICH options to make file list. Please see man 
find(1).
