On my system, diff rejects -R as "invalid option". Looking into "man 1
diff" or "info diff" shows that it should have been either -r or
--recursive (but in lowercase).
You may want other options to define the diff format -- RTFM. Note that
AFAICT diff will not only list files present in only one directory tree,
but also compare the contents of files common to both. (I tried -ry
which wasn't very impressive, and -rC1 which was better.)
The first line of the output of "diff --version" is here
diff (GNU diffutils) 2.8.7-cvs
