"Compare with working copy" in update dialog option compares wrong revisions

From: Roel Harbers <roel_at_roelharbers.com>

the "Compare with working copy" context menu command compares the
updated file with the old revision of the root of the working copy (the
directory the update command is run on), *not* the old revision of the
updated file.

to reproduce:

- take two identical working copies at r1
- commit a change to a file in a subdirectory of wc1 (r2)
- update wc2
- commit a change to the same file in wc2 (r3)
- update wc1
- in the update dialog, select "Compare with working copy" from the
context menu of the updated file. The difference between r1 and r3 is
shown, showing both the first and the second change.

Also, "Compare with working copy" is a bit misleading, since TMerge
shows r1 on the left, and working copy on the right, so I'd expect it to
be called something like "Compare changes", or "Compare with previous"

As a last thing, I think it would be convenient to let a double-click on
the item do a Compare.

TortoiseSVN 1.3.0, Build 5416 - 32 Bit, WinXP SP2
