Reopened this issue because of a mail by Alexander Markov:

recently I tried to use RapidSVN and have experienced some troubles.
I've searched in internet and have found that this bug has already been reported
to you.

It's exactly the same story I have and perfectly details how to reproduce the bug.

http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=650

I strongly believe that it was resolved as duplicated by mistake.
The bug you've referenced (209) is about performing diff for directories, while
this issue (605) is about TRYING to make diff for a FILE!!!

I try to describe it more clearly:

1) you select a directory
2) press CTRL+L and get Log History for that directory, i.e. a list of commits
3) you select some commit (revision)
4) go to "Affected Files/Dirs" tab
5) select some FILE from there, FILE not directory
6) press Diff

expected behaviour would be to get diff between that selected revision (see step
3) and a previous one of that file.

but instead one gets an error saying

"Error while performing action: URL 'http://server.com/svn/project/trunk/dir' 
refers to a directory"


If you repeat the above algorithm BUT in step 1 you select that file you want to
diff, so not a directory but a file straight away it will work. you'll get a diff.

So, a bug here as I see it is in that RapidSVN tries to diff not what you
selected under "Affected Files/Dirs" tab but what you was seeing a Log for.
