It still wouldn't be ideal because you might be editing a long diagonal way and the changeset would be visible in history anywhere in the rectangle defined by the two ends. Really the only solution is if the tab used something like ST_Intersect on the geometries instead of on the bboxes and this is more intensive computationally.
