No. I don't suppose it's something that many people try to do :-)

Unfortunately this is not possible with the current system as the revision
control only stores the SQL to create the object, not what was used to
update it - which might not even be possible if it was modified in a dump
file or by dropping and recreating it.
The only diff we could do would be a traditional text diff which would be
useless.
