When this happens for me, it's usually because the SCM subsystem has
switched itself off after bumping into something it couldn't handle.
Check the project inspector to see that SCM is still enabled for your
project.
Another thing to check out could be that Xcode really understands what
file you're interested in comparing. Earlier versions of Xcode had
"focus problems", ie. you might think that you have a file selected,
but Xcode doesn't always agree. Try to open the contextual menu from
the source window itself, and use the SCM commands found there.
You can also open the SCM window from the SCM menu and drag the divider
upwards to reveal the SCM log. This allows you to see any SCM activity
in Xcode. If you're thinking about filing a bug report, they'll want to
have a copy of that log. A Terminal with top running can also provide
you with some interesting observations.
The files used for the compare operation is checked out in /tmp, so you
might want to take a peek there too, if you're still not tired of
troubleshooting...
