# Ignoring glossary commands for latexdiff

I am in the process of rewriting a big file, where I need to produce the diff file of the new file with respect to the older version. Owing to the large number of symbols, I find it is good to have a table of symbols for which I want to use the glossaries package and \gls{} command. But the problem is this causes changes being highlighted in the final diff file generated using latexdiff, even though they are not real changes. My question is

1. Is there a way to make latexdiff skip the changes due to a redefined symbols in the glossaries package? Or
2. Is there a way to output a latex file where the glossary redefinitions are replaced by their actual latex command?

I will give an example here and I hope it makes it more clear what I want to do.

File1.tex:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$\mathbf{A}$
\end{document}


File2.tex (Using glossaries)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\newglossaryentry{matA}
{
name={\ensuremath{\mathbf{A}}},
$\gls{matA}$

To me, these two files are the same and hence the diff file generated as latexdiff file1.tex file2.tex > diff.tex , should generate a diff.tex with no changes. But in reality it does register unnecessary changes. Any help is appreciated.
