Problem to solve

In teams where code is merged to master as soon as test pass, code review needs to happen after the code has merged. There is currently no way to do this easily in GitLab.

I need to be able to view a diff of the relevant changes that have been merged into the master or develop branch and exclude changes that aren't relevant to my review.

Proposal

Add the ability to filter the compare view by:

• author
• date range
• commit message (regex)
• exlude merge commits
