You might be able to use patch-ids and git-cherry, to see if similar patches (those with identical patch ids) are upstream. The patch id is only calculated from the diff I believe, so it's mostly stable at least as long as the contents didn't need to be changed to apply upstream. It's not 100% perfect, but it might help with what you're after? Thanks, Jake
