Can't edit writable files in DiffMerge

If I do a diff between a local (edited - non read-only) file and the last version in the repository, DiffMerge treats both as read-only. Why is my local file treated as read-only when it is not

By default, the diff tool brings up both files in a read-only state, so you can't apply changes from one file to the other.

You can change this, though - Go to Tools->Options->Diff/Merge, and take out the /ro1 or /ro2 arguments, which makes the right and left files in the diff window read-only.

Thanks - taking out /ro2 makes it much more useful now
