If you have any kind of JS minification in your pipeline, then just applying git diff is likely to produce large patches for small changes as renaming and compiler optimizations on Javascript can vary wildly. Google has had diff tools like this for awhile, as such, the Closure Compiler contains a feature called stable name maps to prevent a small change from causing all of the symbols globally to be minified differently. It's outputs two files of variable and property names, and subsequent compilers can attempt to minimize diff-cheese. They also help SDCH. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/closure-compiler-discuss/MrENQdmovSE https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/closure-compiler-dis...
