Apple's free TextEdit (and a few other Mac OS X applications) have their own implementations of "File => Revert To".
As usual, BBEdit provides a truly magical fine-grained implementation, using *the same* infrastructure provided by the system’s built-in file versioning capability, but playing it *with virtuosity*. BBEdit's Manual says: Search => Compare Against Previous Version Provides access to previous versions of the current document using the system’s built-in file versioning capability. You can compare and integrate changes from any prior version into the current document as desired. If you haven't tried this with BBEdit, you should. *Not-so-fine granularity offered by Apple's free TextEdit and a few other Mac OS X applications*: TextEdit gives you an entire previous version of the file and you have to figure out, by yourself, what the differences with your current versions are. *Fine granularity offered by BBEdit*: With BBEdit's "Compare Against Previous Version", you can easily zoom into a given character, and you can decide which changes (if any), at whichever granularity you want, to revert to any previous version of your file. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
