I have a directory with source code and want to figure out the files whose content has changed.
Suppose I have two version of development work called hstmy.1.0 and hstmy.1.7. Directory structure are basically the same. However there may be additional files and directories, whose contents have changed (new source codes, bug fixes, etc).
Omit files that exist in one branch but not in the other one?
Compare both text and binary files?
When found files that differ: copy both or one of them? and if that case, from which branch?
Temporary dir will be plain? I mean, if found a file that differ inside two subdirectories, the script will have to create those subdirectories in the temporary dir or could be enough to copy the file without the tree structure?
Why don't you use a source control system for the job?
There might be a better way to use rsync for this, but this ought to work unless you've been putting spaces in filenames:
Code:
rsync -r --list-only a b | # Find changes and list them
awk '/^[^d]/ { print $5 }' | # Get only filenames
xargs tar -cf - | # Bundle them up
tar -C /path/to/destination -xf - # Extract elsewhere

I only care about source code changes (.hh, .cc, .awk, .tcsh, .ksh, .f, .F)
I want to just transfer the files without the tree structure to a folder, let's call it updatedcode. Will transfer only from
hstmy.1.7 the files that differ from hstmy.1.0
Yes, my intention is to use svn, but I am only starting on it. In the meantime I have to continue working.

There are no spaces in file names. I am working from home and work. I just want to transfer the updated files so I can have a look at the work done on the latest version.
I created source1 and source2. They are identical to directory source. I made changes to source2/TracePDF.cc.
