When comparing files, TSVN has to create temporary files. This is to
convert the BASE files with correct fileendings and expand the keywords.
These temp files *must* be unique. TSVN can't just assume a name for
such a file: if it doesn't exist yet, yes then all would be good. But
what if that file still exists from a previous compare? Overwrite it?
What if another editor/difftool still has that file open?
That's why you can pass window titles to a diff tool. If your diff tool
doesn't support this feature, go complain to the devs of that tool.
(Sorry, but that's the way it is.)
