This in-development feature might not be available for your use. There can be
[risks when enabling features still in development](../../feature_flags.md#risks-when-enabling-features-still-in-development).
Refer to this feature's version history for more details.
To avoid displaying the changes that are already on target branch in the diff,
we compare the merge request's source branch with HEAD of the target branch.
When there are conflicts between the source and target branch, we show the
conflicts on the merge request diff as well:
