You'll likely need to do it in steps. First get the dirs that have changes,
then walk the contents for new/changed files, then file changes themselves.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
