Check for modifications and check repository minor inconsistencies

Hi!

I'm not frequently using the "Check repository" button in the "Check for modifications" dialog, but occasionally it has its uses. Now I found some inconsistencies.

- When right clicking a file that has both local and remote modifications the default choice is "Compare with base". I suggest this to be renamed to "Compare with repository", alternatively "Compare with repository and base" or possibly "Compare and preview update" or similar.

- When selecting this option the TortoiseMerge that opens have the three files captioned "Theirs - FILENAME : Remote file", "Mine - FILENAME : Working Copy" and "Merged - (not found)". I would suggest changing these to "Theirs - FILENAME : Repository, Revision ###", "Mine - FILENAME : Working Copy" and, hmmm, something else than "(not found)" :-)

- When right clicking a file that has only remote modifications the default choice is "Compare with base". I suggest this to be renamed to "Compare base with repository". Also there the "Remote file" caption could be changed to "Repository, Revision ###"

- When right clicking a file that has only remote modifications there is a choice to "Compare with working copy". This serves no purpose (?) and could be removed.

If I missed anything, I think that the actions should clearly state "Compare THIS with THAT" in case that we have more than one possible way to do the diff.
