No, it also does a checksum.  You can get around this by computing
yourself a good checksum (e.g., sha1) of each file and diffing the
checksums.

    $ find . -exec sha1sum \{\} \; > /tmp/sha-1.txt
    $ # Then do same on other machine or other dir,
    $ # and copy file of checksums to /tmp/sha-2.txt
    $ diff /tmp/sha-[12].txt
