What about any of those tools that claiim to be doing backup/ mirroring and versioning of everything (including binary files?) at once such as Brackup: http://search.cpan.org/~bradfitz/Brackup-1.06/lib/Brackup/Manual/Overview.po...
Backup and version control are different things. If you use version control, say subversion, your repository should also be backed up.
Subversion also allows an external diff command. Haris mentioned wdiff, but many GUI diff programs such as FileMerge (which comes along with the Apple Developer Tools) or Changes[1] display word differences along with line differences.
