What is the --exclude for? With no parameters that appears to be excluding everything, at least on my diff (GNU diffutils 3.3).

Without that it works as expected:
Code:
$ diff -s --recursive -b dir_1 dir_2
Files dir_1/java/abc/test/Constants.java and dir_2/java/abc/test/Constants.java are identical
Files dir_1/java/abc/test/constants_1.txt and dir_2/java/abc/test/constants_1.txt are identical
Files dir_1/java/abc/test/delete.java and dir_2/java/abc/test/delete.java are identical
Files dir_1/java/abc/test/test.java and dir_2/java/abc/test/test.java are identical
Only in dir_1/ora: java
Only in dir_2/ora: seq
$ diff -s --recursive -b dir_1 dir_2 | awk '/identical$/ {print $4}' | xargs echo rm
rm dir_2/java/abc/test/Constants.java dir_2/java/abc/test/constants_1.txt dir_2/java/abc/test/delete.java dir_2/java/abc/test/test.java
