One way that works well for me is ExamDiff Pro. It lets you compare two directories and shows you which files have changed. You double click on a file in the list and it gives you a very easy to understand Visual Diff of the two files. You just go from one difference to the next and decide if you want to keep the old values or the new ones.

There is a trial version of the program. Also, NotePad++ at https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ has visual diff plug ins that work very well. You can do the same thing with it.

Using a comparison app does make it easier. but I do it was possible to have marlin be able to just keep the config file and swap out all the other files when doing an upgrade.
I realize this makes it difficult when you are changing variable names for features / settings
