diff -urN will more or less do that. As the man page says:
-N
--new-file
In directory comparison, if a file is found in only
one directory, treat it as present but empty in the
other directory.
The effect is that files won't be deleted when the patch is applied,
but they will be truncated to zero length. That's normally enough of
a clue to the committer that the file should be deleted.
Just to make sure the committer is paying attention, it never hurts
to mention in the PR that files should be deleted.
