Does anyone consider fixing this failure someday? I have had the same problem several times in the past and again today. I wanted to see what changes were done to a file in all revisions since the branch was created. Unfortunately I created the branch from a modified working copy, since this is possible and not forbidden. But showing the differences of that file fails with error message "URL ... doesn't exist".
