I have the same problem. Recently, I had to review a project with a lot of changes. Many files had over fifteen revisions. Others commented on different revisions, and their comments make no sense because they don't align with current revisions. Even if the goal of the comment was to get the author to make changes to the code, and if the author did make the change, I would still like to easily see the code for which the comment applies.
My workaround is to observe the timestamp for the comment that another person made on a particular line, and then I choose the revision having the timestamp just before the timestamp of the comment. That usually works, but it is a time-consuming, monotonous process.
I think what SmartBear needs to do is not just assign the comment to a line number but also assign it to a specific revision. A suitable interface would be to add an option, that when selected, allows for automatic switching of revisions (preferably the before version) when a comment is clicked so that there is proper context for the comment.
