Comparing a revision to the working copy is actually done by comparing
the revision to the working BASE (that's a limitation of the svn
library, I *think* it's fixed in the nightly builds).

Also, the compare is done by creating a unified diff first, then
applying that 'patch' file to the working copy. That's why a 'compare
with working copy' from the log dialog always uses TortoiseMerge, even
if you have configured a different diff tool to use.

Not much we can do to prevent this from happening, especially for
renames/moves...
