Higher-level change review?

I've been working on a fairly large Org outline and also merging upstream code changes in a project that does a lot of refactoring, and I've discovered that Git's diff format is poorly-suited to reviewing the kinds of structural modifications I often deal with, where indentation changes and large parts of documents are reorganized. Are there better ways to review, stage, etc. this kind of change than by using straight-ahead diffs? And, for the magit list, has anyone integrated an improved review capability with magit?

Hints most appreciated,
