If you are working under Windows you might try WinMerge. It can
compare whole directories (though not whole trees afaik) and lists
the files which are different or exist only on one side. You can
compare those then in particular for each difference and decide
what to take and what to ommit. This involves manual work of
course, but for "a few scattered changes" it should be comfortable
enough with WinMerge.
