Hard wrapping here is IMO not a solution to this problem. Say you add  
a word to the first line that causes the following lines to be wrapped  
differently, or somebody rewraps a paragraph to another column width  
-- now you actually did cause multiple lines to be changed.

I know though that the present diff “support” for prose sucks since it  
is line based. There are however sub-line diff visualizers and I have  
long wanted for us to include such one in TextMate, maybe default to  
use sub-line diff for the text.* scope.

If anyone got recommendations for nice sub-line diff visualizers [1]  
let me know.
