I meant to write: “I would also generate new diffs right _before and_ after…”, precisely for that reason. The before patch should get you the last ’sane’ situation to get back to the source code. Next, you can diff that to the newly tokenised version after the upgrade.

It is a bit of a hassle, as you need to remember to do that before an upgrade, but at least you’d have something…
