Just in case, isn't this quite easy to script using a ramfs and binds?

I think:

walk/ls, to find all files with their diff counterparts
ramfs for temporary file storage
bind for each individual temporary file to their original location

Sure, the original diff files would still be there, but that should be enough 
for building/testing etc.
