Why HEAD~1 ?

[Dieterbe]

Hi,
I wholeheartedly agree on it being unrealistic to start addressing all existing issues, but rather prevent any new ones.
To that end, why --new-from-rev=HEAD~1 ? That would just show diffs introduced in the last commit only, no?
Many PR's are many more commits.
How about instead --new-from-rev=$(git merge-base master HEAD) ? Or if the PR branch is always properly based on master, could just use master ?

Hi, thank you!
Looks like $(git merge-base master HEAD) is better. We can't set just origin/master because there are can be another merged branches in master, and they will be included in the current diff.

if current HEAD is origin/master, --new-from-rev=$(git merge-base master HEAD) seems won't work because there is nothing new.
