You shoudl select only _one_ additional revision.

The currenlty selected revision is the base + select another one
(only) with CTRL + *RIGHT* click (the file list change background
color) , then call external diff tool.

Select the file from the file list (right bottom pane) or from the
tree view (use key 't' to toggle treev view) double click on it or use
context menu (right click on the file name) and that's all.

See above.


I know I'm going to tell you a very _unpopular_ thing, but, in case
you have 5 minutes of spare time (yes, it doesn't take longer), open
qgit then please press a nice key called 'F1', a nice handbook will
appear...

I really suggest to look at it. To keep UI 'clean' a lot of features
are not immediatly visible, so reading the handbook (at least the
chapter's titiles) would give you a better idea of what qgit could do
for you.

Yes it is. There are a lot of new featrures, is almost as stable as
the previous and if you are interested in file history (annotations)
in qgit-2.0 this feature has been greatly speeded up.


Have fun
