Description
diff is currently implemented in a very naive way: we build materialized paths for both branches we are comparing, and then doing an full outer join on those two. Might be able to do something smarter (diff directories on-the-go instead of materializing?).

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating the SQLite diff implementation and tracing how materialized paths and the full outer join compare two branches; determine whether an on-the-fly directory diff is feasible and verify that branch comparisons remain correct.
