Did you try it?

Go to a directory with MANY files in. Create a gtags.files with only a
few file names in. Then

gtags -f gtags.files

ls -l G*

*look at the tags files size*

Now,

global -u

NOW look at the tags file sizes

I dont know if its a bug. I dont understand the documentation. I am
asking how to configure global to ONLY update for the files already
tagged or, and better,  how can I specify in the .globalrc only to tag REAL source
files? Currently it is tagging every file in the directrory.
