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.

no plans to address this.
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.
