I know, and that is what I do in the moment, _but_ I only have _one_
of the files in my working copy. The second on I have to go get it via
repo browser, creating a temporary copy, and deleting it afterwards.
The working copy is based on a branch, and I'm merging selected
changes from trunc.
To cross check I'd like to diff files from my working copy against the
analogous file in trunc.
From the file context menu I can diff against base, and via the log
against any previous revision of the file.
What is not possible (as far as I can tell) without doing it by hand,
is to diff a file in the working copy against a random file in the
repository.

Graph as in "revision graph"?
Wouldn't that have the same restrictions as using the files log?
At least finding the file in the graph would be a challenge 8-)
