'Compare' context menu entry

Enhancement suggestion.

When exactly two local files are selected, could the Compare context menu
entry do a compare between the two local files (showing the dialog if they
are identical and the comparison windows if not, as per comparisons between
local files and repository versions, or two repository versions)? Currently
the menu entry is greyed out if more than one file is selected.

This will be useful in removing duplicated files from repositories.

Cheers, Mike

Ah, is it just not in the Foundation version? (v7.0.1_1)

We can't offer all good things in the free Foundation version. We need to earn
some money by selling Professional licenses. ;)

Totally understand. Obviously for me this fits into convenience not
deal-making stuff, as I can use an external compare tool. But
convenience could be a killer feature for some. 8-)

One thing which actually bit me yesterday and might be a real
justification to management for the professional version: protection
against checking in/out files which differ in name only by case on a
non-case-sensitive or only case-preserving filesystem.

SmartCVS behaved as if the client OS (WinXP/NTFS) was case-sensitive
(our server is on Linux), but didn't notice/warn that a developer
checked in a file where the name differed only by case to one already
in the repository, and on checkout, didn't warn that one file was
overwriting the other...

To be honest, for me the best announcement from you would be that you
were working on a SmartGIT client using the jgit package. 8-)

Cheers, Mike

Can this feature be extended by choosing two files wherever they
are in the filesystem?

For example , i have a local backup copy not ever checked-in and
i want to compare it with the cvs version, or even compare
two local copies that are not in cvs.
