Is there a convenient mechanism to get the change log between two labels?
I cant diff a label with a label. When I try to diff a directory the option to diff against a label is greyed out.
I can diff against a file system directory, but you can do anything with the resulting data. Cant even copy it.
Currently I am forced to check out the old label and then do a search against 'old' versions. At least I can coppy the data, but it isnt checking against a newer label, rather it is the newest version for each file.
Reporting is really short on features ATM. Do I need to write my own SQL queries to get this data?
As an additional comment, It would be nice to have a graphical view of labels and version history ( like the graph command in wincvs ).
Change log reporting???

There are a couple of ways to see the differences between labels, but they are fairly non-optimal:
1. Invoke Show Labels on a folder and make sure it is on the "Labels" pane. You can select any two labels on that screen, and will show the differences. Unfortunately, it does this by downloading the entire tree for each label, so it can take quite a long time for large folders. This brings up the differences in a folder diff window. We plan to make this faster in a future release.
2. You can invoke history on a folder or file, and choose dates that correspond to the labels. The results of history queries can be saved to disk as a file. We plan to add history query by label (so you can choose two labels, and have it display all the history between those two labels), to make this easier.
