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.

Enrico
