I was wondering if the following functionality is present in the source gear client. I want to do a diff between the current working copy of a file, and a specific revision (not the latest) of the same file in the vault. This specific revision has not been labeled though. So for example: Do a diff between the local file and revision 5 of the same file which is checked in in the vault (the latest revision of the file in the vault is revision 9). Once I have the diff between the two files, I would then like to do a merge of the parts needed from the old revision. Background behind this question is the following: We removed some code in an earlier revision of a file, since this code wasn't to be used yet. However now this code is going to be used and I have to merge this code back into the head revision. The other programmer on the project however did not label this specific revision. I could of course backup my working copy, then get the specific revision, then do the merge, and finally check the working copy back in, but I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this.
