I'm not sure why this happens, but there is a workaround. Included in
the download of svnX* is a script (it's in the app's resource folder).
Basically all it does is copy the temp file before calling opendiff.

This works from the command line. If anyone knows how to make this work
for Xcode, I'd be glad to hear it (xcode compare will only work with
the latest changes for me)
