Well it is correct but it is still confusing IMHO. The word 'except'
implies leaving something out so you are effectively saying 'get rid
of all the changes except the ones I marked', or 'mark the changes
that you don't want to be left out' which is a double negative. To me
it makes more sense to say a positive statement referring to the
original state of the file. 'Use the original file, plus the changes I
marked'.
