Is there a way to version the contents of a table as a set?

Rails

I am looking at using acts_as_versioned to manage revisions of data in
several tables in my application. However, the default behavior of
acts_as_versioned appears to apply to individual rows within a table.
The
tables I want to version are complicated lookup tables and what I really
want is to version the entire contents of each table as a single set.
Adding a row, deleting a row, or updating one or more rows should update
the
version of all rows. Is there a way to use acts_as_versioned to
accomplish
this? Is there a different approach that anyone can recommend?

Store the `diff’ after each insertion/deletion/update transaction.

I think I understand your suggestion. It sounds like you are saying
that
there is no existing plugin to handle this and I should build my own
solution?

Thanks,
