To make a recursive comparison in Sunrise you first need to "flatten"
the tree:

1.1) press C-c C-n to bring up find by name
1.2) type in "*" (a single asterisk) and press Return

this will recursively display all the contents of the current
directory, including all sub-directories. Alternatively:

1.1) press C-c C-f to bring up find with args
1.2) type in "-not -type d" and press Return

this will recursively display everything that is *not* a
directory. There are many other ways to flatten the tree, so the pane
shows exactly what you're interested in - after that's done you can
perform your comparison.

P.S. Press C-c C-c to return to normal mode ;)
