if you're looking at the patch for a given file (have it selected in the lower right window), then when you switch to tree it would be nice if it started at that file. I realize you can view Old version/New version but that doesn't help with landing the the right level of the tree for projects with subdirs, and sometimes you want to just switch to looking at the file sans all diff markup.
