What about the following case: There are thousands of files in this module, which are common to FEATURE and RELEASE, and all - except one! - or the same. How can he distinguish this case from the case where all files are the same? I think that was his question in the first place, at least, it is how I understood it. Tyler, if this is your problem, then I don't have another solution but go through the whole repository and check for the files where the tags are different. Some skripting would be required.
