As an additional note, if you want word-by-word diffs of revisions of a TeX document in Git, use the --word-diff option of git diff, after adding the following line to your .gitattributes file (creating that file in the top-level repository directory if required). *.tex diff=tex
git hadn't been invented when I finished my thesii, but wdiff did.
