That was it. I got confused by the fact that it worked the day
before. I probably made some permission changes without testing them
properly. But why does it create a local tempfile if I request a
diff between two revisions of a remote url? I guess the diff
received from the server is stuffed away in the tempfile before
getting displayed, right?

I know what the error means. Sorry to ask such badly worded
questions. I investigated the source (BTW, there's a typo in the
doxygen comment, it says at one point that the second-attempt file
will have "1" tacked onto the end, but it's "2"). I just didn't know
what exactly is causing it to be called at all.
It would be a lot better if the message contained full path to the
file.
