I try to rephrase  this.

How do I configure a project directory so that gtags only tags certain
files (currently I use gtags -f gtags.files) and then "global -u" ONLY
updates those tagged files. Currently "global -u" currently tags ALL
files. You can easily reproduce this on the command line assuming no
other global config files.

I am currently using debian squeeze.
