Hi All,

I just tried right clicking on a file and then select "open with meld".
I saw my screen flicker momentarily and then meld was gone again.
Then I did some simple tests from the command line.

This is what Meld 1.8.2 says to me:

<snip>

That one has been fixed in 1.8.x (as you've found).

Yeah that's a problem. Please feel free to file a bug for this.

I suspect that the get_path_for_repo_file() implementation for vc._null can probably just be grafted back from 3.11.x to 1.8.x. However, I'm trying to avoid new 1.8.x releases, and this is a bit of a corner case; you're asking for a single file version control comparison on a file that isn't version controlled.

cheers,
Kai
