Hey there, recently we're experiencing a problem that some time new pull requests showing old commits and files changes which are already in the target branch.
And I couldn't find any proper solution from previous discussions.
And for your information, We not sure how it's happening. But most of the time working as expected. sometime not.
Please let me know if there any solution for this.
Thanks.
Hi @Satheeskumar,
We have changed the diff algorithm from what we call a '3-way' diff to a 2-way 'three-dot' diff in order to improve performance on complex diffs:
https://bitbucket.org/blog/improving-performance-on-complex-diffs
The '3-way' diff includes changes to the destination branch, whereas the 'three-dot' diff does not reflect changes made to the destination branch since the source branch was created from the destination branch.
In the case where files changed in the source branch are the same files as those changed in the destination branch, the 'three-dot' diff will show only the changes introduced in the source branch.
There is no way to switch to the '3-way' diff algorithm at the moment, we have a request to provide that on demand: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-21964
If you want to see changes to the destination branch in a PR, you can merge the destination branch into the source branch. The blog post I shared above provides more details in the section "How to see changes to the destination branch in a pull request".
Kind regards,
Theodora
Thanks.
I'll check this solution when I face the issue next time.
Once again thank you for your considerations.

Hello! I also have the same issue, it's really annoying. Do you have plans to fix it?
Thanks.

Hi Paulo and welcome to the community!
I shared in my previous reply the request to provide the Preview-merge diff type on demand: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-21964
We don't have plans to work on this in the next 12 months, but we will continue to consider it in future planning and will provide periodic updates on that ticket.
Kind regards,
Theodora
