There is a proposal to add an edit box and a diff view for .svg files (which are stored in plain text) but it's been on the back burner for 2+1/2 years.
Obviously making bitmap/raster images editable and diffable in situ would be significantly harder (and less likely to have a constructive purpose) than doing so for svgs, so I'll believe it after I see it.
