Feature Request: show branches/tag labels in diff view #1715

Open willisblackburn opened 1 year ago

willisblackburn commented 1 year ago

I use the diff view in Fork a lot because I am developing a project with a lot of parallel branches. (It's a pedagogical project and the branches correspond to chapters in the tutorial.)

It would be nice if the diff view showed the branch/tag labels (if present) instead of just the change number. It's sometimes hard for me to figure out which side is which.

While I'm here, it would also be nice if it was clear which side was which. The two change descriptions are arranged vertically while the files are displayed horizontally.

Re-iterating the need for this.

Have a look at this screen shot. Here I'm trying to compare two branches. I have a script that delivers the same change to multiple branches at the same time, so often the last commit in two branches will have the same comment and time. So I can't tell which side is which unless I go look at the hash codes, which is inconvenient.
