I saw Marc Meketon's suggestion which exactly
answered your original question.

But I also had another thought.  Why not place
your model under 'git' and run two branches:
'mod1' and 'mod2'.  Switching between the two is a
simple call, for instance: $ git checkout mod2.

Updates to one model (read branch) can be easily
transferred to (merged with) the other.  You can
read the objective value generated by 'mod1' from
the 'mod2' branch with some scripting (perhaps
bash, perl, python) and duly update your local
'mod2' MathProg file.

might be of some use? Robbie
