Wrong base version in side-by-side diff view for merge requests
Created by: bentolor
Since GitLab 6.4 a side-by-side view for diffs is available. At least for merge requests the displayed diff seems to be wrong in my opinion.
For illustration see the following screenshots. Both origin from the diff view of the same merge requests
The classic diff view correctly shows the difference between the file as it is in the original branch compared to the tip of our merge requests.
But the side-by-side view shows something different: In the commits of our merge requests I changed the shown file in two different commits. The side-by-side view seems to show the branch tip compared to any previous file commit and not the merge base
