Thanks for giving this additional information.  The fact that you could created this automatically reduces the chance for error. But this context is needed to make the information useful for a reviewer.
Also, as approver, I usually take a different look if I know no reveiwer was involved. And as backporter to a later release, I would like information about the previous backports.  In both cases, and similar with the 24u backport of the timezone change, it is helpful if a change like this is not labeled as "clean".
Btw, would skara handle the file path differnces?  I just did the backport of JDK-8303770, which has the same issue.
