Lapsus: the variable dirs should not be quoted here if it

names containing spaces and weird characters, however.
So:
cd "$target" &&
find $dirs | sort | uniq > "$target_list"
To deal with spaces etc., one could possibly use something along
the lines of the following kludge; it assumes that \n is
relatively unlikely to be found in a directory name, and that the
directories in $dirs can be separated by \n.
cd "$target" &&
echo "$(echo $dirs | while read dir
do
find $dir
done)\n" | sort | uniq > "$target_list"
