Happens all the time when you are type setting, like writing in LaTeX. Its not designed to be your word processor and its easy to think you making minor edits/fixes when you are really quietly destroying everything you had already revised dozens of times.

What’s a good alternative workflow? I’d be quite interested to know as what you said identifies with what I’ve experienced.

I think getting your source file into Github and having it go through peer-review is the best way to avoid these types of issues. Also changing the diff format from 'diff-by-line' to 'diff-by-word' improves readability a lot.
