technically, if vcdiff is already installed, couldn't it be leveraged to manage any changes made since the file in the filesystem changed? just a thought.
First of all, this is very unrelated to the original topic but anyway:
IMO this is no option because it would list all changes in the file with the stored version in the SCM. This would include your changes and the changes made by the external program. Then the user has again to manually find what he has changed and what was changed by the other program. And probably there are more other use cases where this could lead to more work and risk than it would help.
