I'm sure we could come up with a script, with a little effort.

In trying to see what you were after, I opened TM, types lorem tab,  
and saved a file.  I then changed one word and saved a second file.   
I went into FileMerge and compared the two.  In those results I  
couldn't even figure out how to see all the text I wrote (needed a  
horizontal scroller).  What am I missing?

If you can show an example of what you are after, odds are good that  
it can be done.
