Description
This would be a nice feature that would allow people not to have to clone the commit they're diffing locally and instead be able to compress the whole diff (or by a per-file basis) into a patch directly from the UI

Research direction
No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the existing diff-viewer UI and the data used to render file comparisons, then determine how an export action could cover the whole diff and individual files. Done means the UI can produce a usable patch for either scope without requiring users to clone the commit locally.
