No.  I've written one up for use with the LilyPond project at one point
of time but never tested it or had it deployed.  By now the LilyPond
repository has been moved to GitLab for the main development so that
plan has become moot anyway.

I'd have to dig through my disks to see where this writeup was, but as I
said: it never saw any test or action and thus is not likely to save a
lot of time, effort or pain.  In the end, deleting and rewriting a
branch is not all that much more effort.
