Merging BizTalk binding files

I am using BizTalk Deployment Framework (BTDF) for deploying my BizTalk solution. If I have made any changes to BizTalk bindings, I export them from BizTalk Administration Console and replace my PortBindingsMaster.xml bindings file (created by BTDF) with my exported bindings. I think many of you do the same. The problem is that when I do the export, BizTalk mixes up the order of XML nodes in bindings file, so when I am trying to merge with my source control, I'm getting over 9000 conflicts.

Is there any cool way to merge these BizTalk bindings?

Too much trouble trying to merge these. Get comfortable with the structure of a binding file and extract the parent node you need and copy it over to PortBindingsMaster.

The other problem with merging is if you use settingsfilegenerator, you'll need to merge that which can be potentially everywhere in PortBindingsMaster.
