At the start ISTR you said the two directory trees were different.
I took that to mean that two files with identical contents could
be in different directories within the two trees.
If I was wrong in that assumption and each pair of identical
files would be in the same relative path I have two suggestions.
1. Sort a-md5 and b-md5
Use the comm(1) command. It will give lines in both files,
in file a-md5 only and in b-md5 only with 0, 1, or 2 tabs.
You can also use options to get the 3 columns individually.
To do this you would have cd to A or B and run the find cmds
as "find .", not "find A or B".
2. Get a copy of an old program called dircmp* and run it on the
two trees directly. It will output files only in tree A,
only in tree B, then output files in both noting whether
they are the same or different contents.
I don't have the compiled version of dircmp, but I have a ksh
shell script version that is quite similar.
