    Perhaps the way that FileMerge works might be an answer?

    You'd show the two models side by side or sub-window by sub-window
    and show which of the entities overlap one another, then do a test-
    delete/merge, then do a re-evaluation that will show what will go
    wrong then, and after everything is satisfied, you can do a commit of
    some kind.

    Does that make sense?
