If you just want to perform some action on each of the lines, I use
the following:

:g/^/if synIDattr(diff_hlID(line('.'),1), 'name') == 'DiffAdd'|#|endif


where "#" (number & print the line) is the action in this case. I
use it roughly like a ":diffdo" commmand. It gets a little uglier
if you want to act over changed lines and trickier still if you want
to act over deleted lines (usually it's easier to go to the other
diff buffer and act over the DiffAdd'ed lines).

It doesn't solve the problem of *searching* for the lines, but most
of the time if I want to find them, I also want to act on them.
