No...the "." is the relative path part and is identical in source and
destination find...it does not introduce a diff..If the filesystem you
use does not maintain case, then you do of course have a valid point
about potential case-changes...."man diff" shows "diff -i " will address
this directly.
but I suspect we have exhausted this topic. Other weaknesses are that
empty directories are not verified, other types of things that ar
non-files (links, pipes, etc) are ignored, but then again, each can be
addressed by more sophisticated means, but most of the time it's not
necessary.
