git

I made some changes to an open source project without taking time to create proper patch files.

Now, the maintainer of the project released a new version, and among new and edited files, there are a bunch of renamed files.

Whats is the best way to apply my changes to the new version ?
I'm completely new to diff/patch use, and If I can get it done with git, it would be better.

Currently I am using google-diff-match-patch to implement a real-time editing tool, which can synchronize texts between multiple users.
