I think it would be quite nice. For instance, I would like to see the  
TextMate line numbers become bold (or highlighted or something  
similar) whenever a line changes. Their state would then be reset  
whenever a file is saved. It would be like having a more fine-grained  
version of the "file changed" icon in the file's tab. That is, the  
icon lets you easily see whether the file has changed, and the line  
numbers would show where the file has changed.

As for a use case, sure, you could use the diff feature for finding  
changes, but that's not the same thing. Diff is not real-time; it  
requires you to open up a new window every time a change is made.  
Patrick's idea would be much more convenient for when you're making  
many small changes to a large file and simply want help tracking the  
changes you've made. (In a way, it's kind of like the highlighting of  
the current line. Not truly necessary, just a nice convenience.)
