Gee, that's funny, I have no trouble "easily retain[ing] local diffs".
And I update my source tree with sup.

Perhaps it's just that I never, ever, write to the supped source tree
with anything but sup - I make a copy of it before applying patches or
attempting builds.  Never considered doing otherwise.
