I think you misunderstood me (if it is not the case then I'm not able
to make any sense of your message). I was not talking about
paragraphs in the result of the compilation. I was talking about
paragraphs at the source code level.

The diff result of a tex file is generally not what really changed in

paragraph.
Diffing tex files first paragraph-wise and then, in paragraphs,
token-
wise would report textual changes more accurately and make conflicts
much less frequent and easier to solve. One would then not try to
resort to locking to avoid conflicts.
Something like this would be wrong if we are inside
\begin{verbatim}...\end{verbatim} or similar.
Since [La]TeX is Turing-complete, detecting these places can
be arbitrarily hard (but is certainly possible, e.g. by
reimplementing TeX ;-)).
