IMHO its always working. Seriously who wants to diff BASE:HEAD in an
IDE? I never did that, neither in kdevelop or some other gui. Just
revert your two changes and make diff to Head == svn diff -r WORKING:HEAD.

IMHO the average user will expect to diff the content of the file to
head if he executes "diff to head" on a file.
