If you don't want to use git, you can just open the two versions of the text files in BBEdit and choose the menu item that compares the two frontmost windows. That's usually what I do because I can get around in git if I have to but I'm not comfortable there. BBEdit gives you a nice double page view with changes both highlighted and listed at the bottom. It's easy to see where the differences are.
BBEdit is a Mac app but maybe there's something similar for other OSs.

I personally prefer Atom for this - it's multi-platform and has both syntax colouring for LiveCode but also syntax checking and highlights errors much like the IDE does...

So at the moment I'm drafting the UI for this, a way to drop two different versions of a stack file into the window and review a list of property and script diffs, applying them selectively as one sees fit.
Progress has been slowed by client project needs, but work continues in the late hours as time permits.
I'll post more once it's ready for external testing...
Sounds great Richard, and exactly what I am looking for. Wishing you good luck on the progress.
