Show resolved Hide resolved

Compare pages show a compare between the tip of the head ref and the current common ancestor (i.e. merge base) of the head and base ref. On the other hand, pull request pages show a compare between the tip of the head ref and the common ancestor of the head and base ref at the time when the pull request was created. In other words, the merge base used for the comparison might be different.
