I know how to do this in SVN,
svn diff http://svn.example.com/branches/A/File1.txt http://svn.example.com/branches/B/File1.txt
But there has to be a less painful way to do this in TortoiseSVN. You would think that you could do it from the Show Log, but it appears to only show revisions on the current branch.

Pick the two revisions you want to compare then use Context Menu → Compare Revisions. If you want to compare the same item in two different trees, for example the trunk and a branch, you can use the repository browser to open up both trees, select the file in both places, then use Context Menu → Compare Revisions.
The main difference between SVN and TortoiseSVN is that the SVN is a distributed version control system while TortoiseSVN is an SVN client implemented as a Microsoft Windows shell extension. In brief, SVN is a version control system. On the other hand, TortoiseSVN is a Subversion client.
That means the Subversion status is normal. As soon as you start editing a file, the status changes to modified and the icon overlay then changes to a red exclamation mark. That way you can easily see which files were changed since you last updated your working copy and need to be committed.

I don't know how new this feature is (I certainly read the documentation and didn't find it when I posted the question), but if you hold the Shift button down when you right click on a file, you can compare URLs without having to go to the repository browser.
See Difference to another branch/tag in the Viewing Differences documentation.
