Has anyone tried using latexdiff for change comparison in not merging? 
Presumably a small script to export both versions to latex, invoke latexdiff 
and then generate the marked-up PDF (which is what you get with latexdiff) 
would work. For latexdiff there are already scripts to handle git revisions 
which should allow one to diff a pair of arbitrary revisions in a git 
repository.
