Let me get this correct. You have 3 bookmarks and you want to diff between them or against your repository? Let me just explain how you would do it when you would setup from scratch. 1. create a repository bookmark. 2. checkout or select your local working copy as working copy bookmark. 3. select the file you would like to diff in the versions browser and click on the diff button. 4. in the dialog box select "modified file in working copy" for the left view. 5. in the dialog box select "existing revision in repository" for the right view. 6. select the revision you would like to compare against in the left view. 7. hit the compare button. > I previously deleted the local originals of each revision before I > understood the application.

If you are unsure about the state of your working copy and don't have any file modified locally than I would suggest you delete the bookmark, the folder and do a clean check out. > So it seems odd that Versions would recognize my revisions in all > cases, Except when trying to make a diff comparison. > > I did try erasing Versions pref file and app support folder and then > set up the depository connection again.
