SQL code should be kept under source control, just likely any other code,
and deployment should be done from the version-control system.
Having said that, there are a couple of options you consider. One is
SQL Compare from Red Gate, although they currently have no direct support
for Source Control. The latest version supports comparing a database to
folder structure on disk, though.
A much more simple-minded way is to get a list of all stored procedures
you need to load. Put that in a text file, and then use a text editor
with good find-replace capabilities to transform the list to a BAT
file that runs SQLCMD to load the files. Just make sure that you run
SQLCMD with the -I option, so that you run with QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON.
