Ah... good point. I'd assumed that dir1 would always be newer than dir2
(ie. that you only make changes in dir1).
You could combine the output of the diff command though to loop through
and grab timestamps. there might be an option to diff to just show
timestamps, not the actual diffs too... not sure though
