Well, one problem we definitely have is that
a) Documentation/snippets is at version 2.19.2
b) the versions have been upgraded at least to 2.16.0

Actually 2.16 is what we want, so we get lucky here.  But the point is
that most snippets will not be what is wanted.  What one can do for any
particular snippet is something like

git log -S '\version "2.16.0"' -p 
Documentation/snippets/new/chant-or-psalms-notation.ly

which shows when and how the snippet passed into 2.16.0 and beyond it.

I have the suspicion that it will be tedious anyway.
