So either IDE and/or repository would show these? Sounds very useful and somewhat straightforward (if involved) to create, so I expect it to exist in some form. Will report back if I find anything.

Yep, it wouldn't be too surprising if it does already exist. It'd also potentially function something like a more advanced diff tool that can provide time-saving efforts to those who use it.

If mature and reliable enough it could actually be used to predict which changes are likely to cause future problems, and then the code reviewer(s) would have to decide how they'd like to act based on that information.
