Diff between commits should be more explicit about "before" and "after" #2315

Description

Currently when I select 2 commits I get a diff view between them, but Fork stacks them up, one on top of the other, like:

I really struggle to understand who's the before and who's the after, like "if I apply this commit into this one, what's the final result?"

I think that the commit in the bottom is the "previous", and the one on top is the "after", as the commit history timeline, but I keep forgetting this.

Could we have a different UX/UI here, where at minimum we get an arrow -> pointing to the order of which the commits would be applied to each other?
