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.

Best, Mark
