Yes.
And by forcing them to realize that they have to make 'tons' of extra
mouse clicks, maybe they will also realize that they might be doing
something wrong? I mean, Subversion versions folders, not just files
like CVS. So you should work on folders (even showing the log).
And btw: why do you need to show the diff so many times for one file?

Seriously? Please think about what you just suggested. Think about how
that would work, how it would interrupt the user, how annoying and
disturbing it would be.
Another thing: we had this exact same discussion about a year ago. The
result of that really, really long thread is what we have now. So I
surely won't change it again.
