Are you recommending I edit my answer to respond to the updated question? I'm okay doing that if you think it will be helpful to some people, and I'm okay leaving the solution and comment set the way they are now, which seems to be reasonably effective. | |

This is no good for me, because if one directory contains a folder with a few thousand files in they are all listed individually, while diff -rq just shows the root directory exists in one, and carries on.

Output to file1 instead of piping as suggested by Dan
