Hello, Andrey,

I'm wading through many files in two file trees.  In particular, I'm
looking at corresponding directories in the two trees where "diff -qr"
revealed differences.  I want the absolute truth of what the filename
is with minimal distrations about how to achieve that.  Then, I can
focus on figuring how those files came about, and how the differences
arose.
