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.

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.

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