Directory Comparison!
by Ted Behling - Jul 21st 2001 06:28:20
I just accidentally realized that diff will actually compare entire
directory structures, and print the diffs between all files in a neat
report! I was originally thinking of writing a directory-recursion script
in Perl to do this very thing. I was rather blown away with both the
clarity and usefulness of the report.
