I made a mistake and it's unlikely that owner and group of any file or
directory changed, but it's not impossible, so I want to compare everything
with a backup directory.
diff/find?
One idea would be a shell one-liner pipeline using find, sort, xargs,
stat, and/or cut, run once for each tree, put the output into text
files, and then diff the text files. Here's an StackExchange thread
that discusses sorting in the face of filenames containing spaces:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/34325/sorting-the-output-of-find
Another option is Perl. Here is a Perl script I wrote to compare mtime
and size of files in two trees. You could hack it up to check uid and
gid for directories and files:
