</div>Backup and version control are different things. If you use version<br>
control, say subversion, your repository should also be backed up.<br>
<br>
Subversion also allows an external diff command. Haris mentioned<br>
wdiff, but many GUI diff programs such as FileMerge (which comes along<br>
with the Apple Developer Tools) or Changes[1] display word differences<br>
along with line differences.<br>

Best, Mark<br>
