It does, but that diff is only meant for use by rdiff-backup itself.
If you want to use it for something else, then you'll have to
find out the internals of rdiffbackup.

But you did not explain your REAL problem you're trying to solve.
Why can't you use "diff -r"?  And how to you think "rdiff-backup"
will solve the problem that you have with "diff -r"?
