Isn't diff -Nur more readable (paths!) and easier to maintain?
maybe,
however, diff -Nur is probably ordered by filesystem, but foo/*macros is
ordered by locale. as all files are lowercase it's consistent with C,
en_US, or pl_PL or whatever some other friend uses (few locales like
et_EE have problem with a-z excluding t-u-v, but that's minimal impact)
and ar is probably easier to create than patch (just redo whole
archive), with patch have to update patch with a patch. neh...
