That works, but see http://bugs.debian.org/64958 for my variant: a
fairly trivial diff diff that adds a flag '-k' which lets you specify
your backup suffix, then it just takes one file|dir instead of two.
diff -urN -Xdontdiff -k.orig {source-tree}
It's been sent to Paul Eggert (of diffutils); no word so far.

No it doesn't, not always. Your choice:
(setq make-backup-files nil)
(setq backup-by-copying t)
