Needs looking at since it is confusing. IIRC the Diff button creates a .mcd 
file of the changes between some versions...

    The "Diff" button on the Monticello repository browser does what its 
balloon help says...

     'Create an equivalent version based on an earlier release'. This is a diff 
version. I never use them as they can be confusing :-)



  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

    If you want to compare two existing versions you should:

    1. Open Monticello Browser
    2. Select a repo
    3. click open
    4. Select a revision, not the latest one

    5. Click HISTORY

    6. chose an ancestor from the list

        Hi:

        In the current dev image (10508), Monticello is broken with respect to 
showing the differences of between chosen revisions.

        However, that seems to be broken already in 10496. (and maybe earlier)

        To reproduce:

        1. Open Monticello Browser
        2. Select a repo
        3. click open
        4. Select a revision, not the latest one
        5. Click diff
        6. chose an ancestor from the list
        Now you got a window 'Version:  ...5'
        Saying (Diff against ...2)
        Here I would expect the changes button to open a window showing the 
changes between the chosen revisions, but it always diffs against the latest 
version.



      Yes, I could reproduce the problem. Can you open a ticket ? 

      Maybe Lukas Monticello guru can help us ? hahaha

      Cheers
