I’m happy to hear Subclipse is still improving. But for now, since we
do not have Subversion 1.5 yet, I’ll have to look for a workaround.

Compare with > Branch/Tag is not very practical, since I have to choose
a specific revision there. I rather want to compare revisions with each
other, without having to go through this menu.

So indeed similar to what Miha wrote, but for folders.

Guess for now, I’ll live with the Branch/Tag comparison.
