There is also an RSS feed which contains the changes:

    feed://macromates.com/svnlog/bundles.rss

Even users who do not use the svn checkout, may want to subscribe, as  
this is the only change log published for bundles.

But as Soryu says: if you change a snippet, you generally don’t care  
about the original version. For commands it’s slightly different, but  
we try to allow “stylistic changes” via environment variables. And  
(again to repeat Soryu) if someone improves a command in a useful  
way, we would love to hear about it, as we may then want to roll in  
the changes in the default version.

I also have something like this on my to-do, but you know… time and  
priorities…
