That's correct: you can't really diff a file which is in the repository.
You first have to fetch it from the repo and store it in a temp file,
and you see the path to that temp file.
But the view title itself should give you enough information about where
the file came from.

Only if you have "show whitespaces" activated, you can see a dot for a
space and an arrow for a tab. Otherwise a tab will look identical to
four spaces.
Another thing you won't see: if the encoding of the file is different.
You would have to check the status bar: the encoding (ANSI/UTF8/UNICODE)
is shown there for every view.

You didn't right-click on any line yet?
