Is there any way to have automatic hard wrapping?
No
Can I put this as a feature request for TextMate2? I think it should be user decision to have hard or soft wrapping, and to have a switch for this could be a useful feature for people (like me) who prefer hard wrap to soft wrap.
I usually write LaTeX (or other text based files) and keep the source under version control with subversion (and exchange files with colleagues). So often I use diff tools to check the differences between version [...]
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.
GNU wdiff (http://www.gnu.org/software/wdiff/wdiff.html) has command line switches for text to be inserted before/after changed words.
All the best
