描述
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Currently (as far as I can tell) the compare function always shows the diffs with the branch that is currently checked out. This means that to see the diffs as they would in a PR, you have to checkout the branch you are merging to, instead of the one you are working on. As I like to see the PR I'm about to submit before committing/opening the PR, this is something I do fairly regularly and having to switch branches to do it is somewhat awkward.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
An option to flip the base of the diff when viewing patches.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
- A shortcut to switch branches but that wouldn't really work in you don't have a clean working tree, which is most of the time in my experience.
- Changing the default to be flipped compared to what it is now, but this would be a breaking change compared to what it is now and I'm not sure how many people this would piss off. I guess this might be an option if the extra option is not desirable, but it seems a little excessive to me.
**Additional context**
Sounds like a not too complicated feature although I'm not familiar with the code base. If there is interest in this feature and someone willing to help guide/review work a little bit, I'd be open to making a PR for this myself.
贡献指南
调研方向
首先定位 compare 函数和补丁查看入口,然后追踪已检出分支如何成为 diff 基准。完成的标准是:通过一个显式选项切换该基准,而不需要切换分支;如果现有的 compare 行为已有测试,则添加或更新覆盖率。
