Usually, the diff provided in M-x magit-status is good enough.
You could also use M-x org-show-all to unfold everything.

IMHO, this is just creating confusion.
Remember that this manual/guide is going to be read by people who are
not yet familiar with Org mode terminology. What is "timestamp on an
event"? What if you put a timestamp on a non-event? What is "clocking
time"?

Why event? What about tasks? Can just use more general "heading" or "entry".
