title: Don't create a temp reference for branch comparisons within project
merge_request: 24038
author:
type: fixed
Don't create a temp reference for branch comparisons within project A temp reference is only needed to fetch a branch from another project, as in the case for forked repositories. For branch comparisons within the same project, we can just use the existing branch names to do the comparison.
