Re: 0.9.100 How to compare to a tag or branch?

Mark,

  How about add a special property where Subclipse would add target url
when particular resource is copied? Then history view can read this
property and offer a comparison.

  Later the same propery could be supported by other tools.

  regards,
  Eugene
