Maybe you already know this, but Emacs has by default very good support for revision control systems (I'd suggest git, the whole world is using it and it rocks). Using a revision control like git is WAY better to keep track of your work, even if you don't have mysterious issues like these. You can type something by accident and don't even notice. Digging later in monolithic backups is an epic pain. You can register the file with C-x v i, check-in the modifications with C-x v v, and with C-x v = you check the status with a nice diff which highlight the single words changed (M-n M-p to move around chunks triggering the refining) M-x ediff-revision is also very good. The defaul color scheme for diff sucks a bit, but you can of course customize the faces with no effort (M-x customize-face over the characters). Commit early, commit often. I hope this helps.
