Hello
Don,
The
philosophy of all Subversive drop-down menus is to show all the actions, that
can be available in some context, so that the user can always see what he can
do in some cases from the view;).
So,
talking particularly about History View, I must mention, that in your case the
describer actions can be enabled, when the SVN 1.5 connector (Java HL 1.5.0 or
SVN Kit 1.2.0) is selected in such conditions:
1. Single
selection case.
a) Compare with Each Other - disabled, cause where is
Each and where is Other?:)
b) Compare Current with <Rev Number> - compares the
current state of your project in the working copy with the selected
revision of your project.
c) Compare with Previous - compares your
project in the selected revision state and in previous to selected
one.
2. Double
selection case.
a) Compare with Each Other - compares your project state
in the selected revisions.
b) Compares, enabled for single selection, are
disabled:).
So that's
the brief description of this menu part of the History
View.
Best regards, Alexei Goncharov.

All,
I'm using the Eclipse Subversive plugin, looking at the
History view for a project. When I select two revisions, I can
right-click and see the context menu, which contains a few Compare options,
all grayed out. Are these placeholders for future features? I'm
particularly interested in the Compare with Each Other option. Or is
should it be working now? Just trying to find out the
status.
Thanks,
Don
