Hi,

I've seen some weird inconsistent behavior with the compare with functionality in subversive. This is the scenario:

You have a different branch that you want to compare a whole project with. You right click on the project and select Team->"Compare with Revision or URL" and specify the URL your other branch is located.

The result is a list of every file in the project marked with a + with the exception of direct children in the hierarchy. So image this project:

-PROJECT
---src
------file1.java
------file2.java
---file3.properties

If you compare this, it'll show you, that file1 and file2 are not existing and they will be decorated with a +.
file3 will be shown correctly with the differences.

If you perform the same action on the src folder, file1 and file2 will be shown correctly. So there's a problem with the hierarchy i guess.

So this bug shows a screenshot of how the compare editor looks like for the failure:

here's the screenshot:

Note the "Cannot compare..." comment in the compare editor. this only happens with files further down in the hierarchy then direct children.
