If you like to discuss meta data diff options, I recommend you to look at
software that implements this since a long time already......
Star implements meta data diffing since 1993.
star diffopts=help
Diff options:
not if this option is present, exclude listed options
! if this option is present, exclude listed options
all compare everything
perm compare file permissions
mode compare file permissions
symperm compare symlink permissions
type compare file type
nlink compare linkcount (star dump mode only)
uid compare owner of file
gid compare group of file
uname compare name of owner of file
gname compare name of group of file
id compare owner, group, ownername and groupname of file
size compare file size
data compare content of file
cont compare content of file
rdev compare rdev of device node
hardlink compare target of hardlink
symlink compare target of symlink
sympath compare target pathname of symlink
sparse compare if both files are sparse or not
atime compare access time of file (only star)
mtime compare modification time of file
ctime compare creation time of file (only star)
times compare all times of file
lmtime compare modification time of symlinks
xtimes compare all times and lmtime
dir compare directory content (star dump mode only)
acl compare access control lists (specify -acl also)
xattr compare extended attributes (specify -xattr also)
fflags compare extended file flags (specify -xfflags also)
Default is to compare everything except atime.
More information is in "man star".
