How can I find out which files differ in two directory trees

0 votes

So, If I have 2 directory trees and I want to find the differences between two I would just execute:

diff -r dir1/ dir2/

This outputs exactly what the differences are between corresponding files but I'm interested in just getting a list of corresponding files.

How should I approach this?
