I've been imagining something like this for years, not specifically for hex dumps, but for a variety of other data formats. (Basically, it would be neat and often useful to watch the evolution of any document or data file -- like realtime source control, and then you could build all sorts of interesting visualizations/analysis on top of that). I look forward to seeing where this goes.
