Description Jean-Michel Lemieux

The current CVS provider is actually quite generic. It could be refactored and 
a general framework moved into Team for re-use by other Team providers.

It would be helpfull if we could diff between the working version and a 
specific version (on the same branch). This is important when developing and 
mantaining code.
So I think this bug should receive some attention. To have this open to other 
teams provider would allow (not only) clearcase plugin to make diffs between 
the working version and the initial (or any other) version of a file in a 
specific branch.
This is particularly important when mantaining code or even when you are 
writing big amounts of code and you have have a clear picture of what have 
changed since a certain point in the development process.

Quick diff is open to other repository providers (or anyone for that matter). 
What this bug is about is providing a reusable quick diff provider. If another 
repository provider wants to provide a quick diff implementation, they can 
look at the CVS implementation as an example for implementing their own. It is 
only one class so it wouldn't involve much code. However, if their 
implementation was similar to the exisiting CVS implementation, we would be 
happy to accept a patch that provided a reuable quick diff provider and a CVS 
specific subclass.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
