====== Compare directories ======

For each of the directories, generate a digest file:

<code bash>
find DIR -type f -exec shasum {} + | LC_ALL=C sort -d -k 2 > shasums.txt
</code>

It's important to use ''LC_ALL=C'' and the option ''-d'' of ''sort'', to get compareable results on different machines.

After that, you can diff the two shasums.txt:

<code bash>
diff shasums1.txt shasums2.txt
</code>

Or you use Meld as graphical diff tool:

<code bash>
meld shasums1.txt shasums2.txt
</code>
