Sorry, but that button doesn't do the diff again. That might work for
you if you have the repository on a LAN. But doing that for a repository
over a slow connection would be too slow.
That's why that button only changes the status of the shown items.

If you want to see the svn diff of the urls the other way around, you
have to do the initial diff the other way around.
