I wasn't the original poster, but I've wanted the same thing. > Goto-chg looks like it does exactly what was requested. I wasn't either but it got my attention to.. However goto-chg.el doesn't do much for me. M-x load-library Then open a file and make a series of three changes, move cursor several lines past last change. M-x goto-chg move me to last change M-x goto-chg does nothing further. Looking at the comments, it says its supposed to be able to go further back with repeated usage of cmd.
