Compare file in workspace with revision? [message #19480]

Hi,

probably I didn't see the obvious, but how can I compare a file in my
workspace with a certain revision in SVN? At least right-click "Compare
with..." on the file doesn't offer that option.

Regards,
Jörg

Right-click "Team/Show History" and you will get a History view
showing the revisions for that file. Right click on a history item
offers "Compare current with n" (where n is whatever revision you
chose).

Thanks! Now that wasn't really <i>so</i> obvious I could say in my

It is different from CVS which has a "Compare with/History..." item
on the context (right click) menu - that just opens the History view
so it is the same as "Team/Show History..." but perhaps easier to
find.

Subversive provides a "Compare with/Local history..." which just told
me there was no local history for th exampe I tried.

Hi, Jorg.

You just have to click Team->Compare With URL...
The default URL will be the URL of the selected in the workspace resource
repository copy. Then you can select a revision of it in a appropriate
groupbox of the dialog and get Compare With Revision:).

Best regards, Alexei Goncharov.

Hello. And is it possible to compare a file in a branch with the current
version in the trunk? I've not been able to find this option.

Thanks!

Just "copare with url". Then "Browse" and manually find and select the
file in the trunk.

I do so as suggested but the question is really why there are in the "Compare with" popup all thinkable variants but not even the trunk. Why is even this case excluded? In 100 cases off calling "Compare with" from a branch workspace it is 99 times the case that I want to compare with trunk.
