Use more appropriate tools.
I.e. Far manager have standard file/directory comparison plugin.
Which can quickly compare paths and or contents of the files.
However, it will not show differences inside files, only show that they are
different, but you can always augment it with
view:<? diff -x "CVS" -x ".svn" -I "\$Id.*\$" -I "\$Revision.*\$" -I "\$Date.*\$" -I "\$Author.*\$" -I "\$URL.*\$" !?$UnixDiff$Options ((-c, -b etc.)):?! --strip-trailing-cr -- "!#!\!.!" "!^!\!.!"

P.S.
I'm not saying that this can not be achieved with Cygwin tools, but even then,
using "ls" to compare files one by one is hardly efficient.
