Revisiongrid doesnt keep the selection

[EbenZhang]

I'm using the master branch of git extensions.

• use the branch filter to find a branch
• scroll down and select one commit of that branch
• clear the branch filter
• the revision grid will select another commit randomly

It used to keep the selected commit in 2.48 but no longer in the master branch.
This feature is quite handy when trying to compare your latest change to another branch.

For me it works sometines. Are you sure it always works in 2.48?

Well, I thought it was introduced recently, but, in fact, it doesn't work in 2.48.05 either. It seems just doesn't work for certain commits. For example:

• Check out the master branch (at this moment the commit is fe4bb94, commit msg is : Thanks to JetBRAINS added)
• Select the v2.48 tag from the branch filter list
• Press Ctrl + Home to navigate to the top of the revision grid, so the v2.48 commit 80add61 (commit msg: Submodule GitExtensionsDoc updated) gets selected.
• Remove the v2.48 from the branch filter
• The revision grid will select commit 8b0ac9c (commit msg: Fix warning: 'DeleteUnusedBranches......)

Well, seems I just need a feature to compare two branches and optionally compare to their merge base

You can try entering branch1...branch2 in the Branch filter. It goes directly to the git log command line.
