Agent Review should use git merge-base

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

When using Agent Review, it seems to compare against the latest main (or master? I can’t even tell that) branch.
However, my PR is not always rebased, leading to a lot of irrelevant files showing up in the review.
Can you make it possible to choose the branch, and use git merge-base to get the relevant commit, instead of the latest?

master in unusable for me in my work environment. Most companies have dev/staging/qa/etc.

+1 must add

Great feedback! Relaying

Hey folks! I’m a bit confused with this feature request. In the newest version of our Review feature, you can already choose the base branch when performing a comparison, and when choosing a base branch, we find the merge base to ensure we’re only diffing relevant changes for your branch. Is this not working for you?

I’m on the latest version (just ran “check for updates” to make sure) and I don’t see this option:

Yes this is perfect, hope it reaches public versions soon!

a question regarding this - does it diff against the tip of the branch, or the branch-point? I’d prefer to be able to diff against the merge-base because that way it only includes my changes, and not code that was added to the main branch later.

I hope my explanation is clear.

Any update on this? This is still not in the latest version, what happened?

can we get this implemented please??? still not present in 2.3.20

Looking forward to this when it becomes available. Still not seeing it in 2.5.17.

Looks like this has been added/released as of 2.5.25. I’m now seeing the option to select a branch in Cursor.
