CLI Tool to generate Salesforce.com package.xml (and destructiveChange.xml) files based on git diff between two branches.

git clone https://github.com/dlively1/sf-packager.git && cd sf-packager && npm link

$ sfpackage destinationBranch sourceBranch ./deploy/

This will create a package at ./deploy/sourceBranch/unpackaged/package.xml copying all files into directory.

If any deletes occurred will also create ./deploy/sourceBranch/destructive/destructiveChanges.xml

You can also just write the package.xml and destructiveChanges.xml by passing the -d flag

sfpackage destinationBranch sourceBranch -d > ~/Desktop/packageAndDestructiveChanges.xml

You can also create "backout" content by reversing the order of the destination and source branches

sfpackage sourceBranch destinationBranch ./deploy/
