There was a paper presented at SCM8 on just such a system. They used Emacs.
Multi-Grain Version Control in the Historian System Makram Abu-Shakra and Gene L. Fisher California Polytechnic State University, USA
This paper describes Historian, a version control system that supports comprehensive versioning and features to aid history navigation. Comprehensive versioning is supported through frequent and automated creation of versions which typically results in a large number of versions. To reduce user overhead in history navigation, the hierarchical structure present in most documents is utilized to support fine-grained version control. The series of document editing operations is also organized hierarchically and can be used for navigation as well.
