It's a good style to write short and to the point paragraphs. But
still, the diffs are usually a bit larger than with hard line breaks.
But on docs I write with hard breaks after 79 chars, my diffs are also
bigger than they must be, cause I cannot refrain from pressing M-q when
editing something in the middle of a paragraph. ;-)
Anyway, when writing text I've never felt the need to use version
control for anything except collaborative but sequential editing and
backup. I can't even imagine forking some document, writing an
"experimental" paragraph and merging that back to trunk some time
later. ;-)
