I tend to use ITO World's "osm mapper" for that:
http://www.itoworld.com/product/osm/map

It doesn't show deletions, but new "wedding map" editors usually end up 
changing something, and where I live it's relatively easy to spot new 
editors among the usual ones.  Whether this would be feasible for an 
entire country I'm not sure (a quick check suggests that you'd need >6 
areas to cover the country, and the bit of Haiti covering Port-Au-Prince 
gets roughly twice the changesets* as "my" bit of Derbyshire does).

Cheers,
Andy
