I guess many people do exactly that when working with MS Word (copy -  edit the file - compare it with the old version). I use an TeXShop engine for that, works for me. You have to copy and rename before doing the editing.

#!/bin/tcsh
# creates a version of a .tex file that has differences marked up

# assumes that a version filename-oldversion.tex exists


set path= ($path /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin)
set filename = "$1"
set newname = "${filename:r}.tex"
set oldname = "${filename:r}-oldversion.tex"
set diffname = "${filename:r}-differences.tex"


#run latexdiff on a file foo.tex and create foo-differences.tex
latexdiff --type=CULINECHBAR "$oldname" "$newname" > "$diffname"
#open the diff-file
open "$diffname"
