Misunderstanding. You compared the HEAD revision with itself, you did
not compare the two revisions. You should not have checked that box.
It basically means, instead of specifying a revision just use HEAD
(which means the most recent revision).
BTW, there is an easier way to do what you want to do. Just
Ctrl-Click to select the two revisions you want to compare in the
History view and then choose Compare. The revisions will come in
pre-filled and you can just click OK.
