Ok...I never used before...but something is clear: the second ask about a
version, has no sense, and even is wrong if it compares to the last version.
See step 6 of Stefan. Then, we have to options:

- Or we remove that second prompt, as it always will use the last version
- Or we change the diff implementation so that it uses the selected version
instead of the last.

What do you think ?

Does someone really know what this "diff" should do ?

Cheers
