Description
Currently, when performing a review in GitHub, the first round shows the changed files against the upstream base. However, in subsequent rounds of review, the diff is based on the previous commit, making it difficult to compare changes against the latest upstream base.
Is there anywhere that I can choose the base for the diff?
