Problem need to copy a tree of 1000s of files to another directory
that is a git directory that has a whole bunch of additional build
files, so diff between the directories will not do any good.
This is slightly off-topic, but if you want to compare only files managed by
git (ignoring other files in current directory), perhaps the following would
help:
# Download and extract the tarball
wget -q http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/snapshot/dpdk-1.7.1.tar.gz
tar -xf dpdk-1.7.1.tar.gz
# Clone the git repo with specific branch, checkout the relevant branch
# (or go to an existing checked-out repository directory)
git clone git://dpdk.org/dpdk
cd dpdk
git checkout -b map_v1.7.1 v1.7.1
# For each file managed by git (with 'git ls'),
# compare it to the corresponding file in the other directory:
git ls -0 | xargs -0 -I% diff -q % ../dpdk-1.7.1/%
