Sorry, hit Enter too fast.

In the 'Versioning Ouput' view the updated files get listed. Currently it is hard to see which parts of the files got updated. You need several steps to do that and you need to repeat those steps for each file.

To simplify this, it should be possible to compare the fetch version with the last revision of that file from within the 'Versioning Output' view.

This could be done by adding a new context menu entry 'Compare with previous revision'. Even better would be if the comparison view would be opened by double-clicking the entry in the list. Currently this action opens the file.

What I missed to write was that this action should call the comparison to the revision of the working copy before the update, which may not always be the same as the direct precedent revision.
