+1... diffing version 1.1 with version 1.2 when i have version 1.6
checked out would be great...
also... I would LOVE to be able to diff two arbitrary files in my
project.. IDEAs diff tool is great... but it needs more flexibility
about what one can diff against what... diffing a random file against
version 1.3 of some other random file might also be a handy feature
from time to time...
