Now I update my WC with rev.8048 (44, 45, 48 were changes to other files) and get "Updated (this file)" in black letters. But when I try to "compare with working copy" it doesn't show the changes I got in this moment (8043->8047), but tries to compare with revision 8042, where this file didn't yet exist.

Hi,
this problem still exists. The nightly build I tried back then seems not to be implemented in the latest release.
Yet I see changes from long before instead of (or additional to) recent changes.
As written above (03.08.2012), "compare with working copy" or similar processes compare with too old revisions. So these functions are rather useless at the momenent...
Do you need more information?
