[bug-diffutils] bug#43923: "only in" message in recursive diff is ambiguous and hence useless if the directories have the same name |

Steps to reproduce:
- have two folders with the same name under different paths such as
/path/to/xxx and /path/to/other/xxx
- Have some files that exist only in one folder, and some that exist
only in the other
- Run:
$ diff -r /path/to/xxx /path/to/other/xxx
You'll get messages like:
Only in xxx: somefile.txt
Only in xxx: otherfile.php
You see the problem, right? How stupid is that.
$diff --version
diff (GNU diffutils) 3.7
