diff -r won't recurse

Greetings, lemkemch@t-online.de!

Try /d/ /g/ ?
Cygdrive automounts are implicit.
Though, I'm unable to reproduce your case.

$ ls -l /?
ls: cannot access /?: No such file or directory

$ diff -r /w /x
Only in /w: $RECYCLE.BIN
Only in /x: OS2
Only in /w: ssh-1Pr6UITz
Only in /w: System Volume Information
Only in /x: WINNT
