Something like Semantic Line Breaks or one sentence per line might be
useful to work towards when rewriting or replacing sections of text.

A better diff tool is probably the way to go for situations where line
endings aren't the appropriate place to break comparisons.

There are a number of potential options for this, the best one is
probably docdiff or wdiff depending on your preferences and commit.

git diff --color-words
git difftool --tool=wdiff
git difftool --tool=docdiff ; xdg-open diff.html
git difftool --tool=meld
