May I renew this?
Summary: In Xcode 3, when you select SCM -> Compare With -> Revision,
you get a file-merge window containing the specified revision and what
appears to be the working copy of the file.
But edits to the apparent working copy can't be saved.
This seems to defeat the purpose of the command. How can I do what I
want to do? Or should I report this as a bug?

my other question.)

Xcode 3.0 on Leopard.
Suppose I have a project under version control by Subversion. It
contains FileA.h, of which there are several revisions. I have
revision 10. I want to bring parts of the file back to the way it
was at revision 5.
I select SCM -> Compare With -> Revision..., and I select revision 5
from the resulting sheet.
A comparison window appears, and I use the arrows in the middle
gutter to pick and choose among the differences.
What do I do now? Command-S results in a beep. Closing the window
results in a "Save All" dialog (odd); if I press the save-all
button, a save-file sheet appears briefly on the comparison window,
which promptly disappears. My working copy for FileA.h is unchanged.
I'd have expected the comparison window would have been between the
revision-5 version of the file and my actual working copy. This
seems not to be the case, and I must do a Select All on the edited
text, and paste it wholesale into my working copy.
Do others find this to be the case? Should I try killing my old
preferences file? Is there a way to do what I actually want? Is it a
bug (which would surprise me)?
