If you select revision 1 and 3 and diff those, you'll see all the lines.
The reason is simple: a diff between revision 2 and 3 shows you what has
changed *between* those revision, actually the change you committed in
revision 3. The change you committed in revision 2 was done between 1 and 2.
When you then diff in the repobrowser, you're diffing two urls, not two
revisions.
