Merge requests versions

Will be introduced in GitLab 8.12.

Every time you push to a branch that is tied to a merge request, a new version of merge request diff is created. When you visit a merge request that contains more than one pushes, you can select and compare the versions of those merge request diffs.

Merge request versions

By default, the latest version of changes is shown. However, you can select an older one from version dropdown.

You can also compare the merge request version with an older one to see what has changed since then.

Merge request versions compare

Every time you push new changes to the branch, a link to compare the last changes appears as a system note.

Notes:

  • Comments are disabled while viewing outdated merge versions or comparing to versions other than base.
  • Merge request versions are based on push not on commit. So, if you pushed 5 commits in a single push, it will be a single option in the dropdown. If you pushed 5 times, that will count for 5 options.
