Your example of "diff -r" actually compares the contents of each file rather than the filename.
How many files are there in each directory tree?
Please expand and explain what constitutes a "duplicate filename". Is it a file in the same relative position in the tree as a file with the same name, or something more complex?
Please explain when a "duplicate filename" is found, which one (if any) you prefer to keep.
