You can also select the two files directly in the repobrowser and choose
"compare".

In TSVN trunk, you can use the repobrowser to compare the two urls
directly (trunk and your branch). It will then show you a list of
files/folders which are different between those two urls, and a
doubleclick will open both files in the diff viewer.
But of course, that only really works correctly if you don't have any
local modifications not yet committed in your working copy.
