plakar diffThe plakar diff command performs a diff between two snapshots,
without restoring them.
If provided with two snapshot identifiers, the command will perform an inode diff by checking if permissions, ownership or modification date has changed:
$ plakar diff b3 b6
$ sudo touch /private/etc/bleh
$ plakar push /private/etc
$ plakar ls

$ plakar ls
