Problem or use case

sometimes you use the same thread/context for a multiple PR workstream. it'd be nice to see only the diffs you are considering in this specific changeset (ignoring diffs in previous prs that have been merged already)

Proposed solution

a new mode that just slightly alters how the diff view works

Why this matters

This would allow a more flexible way to use the product (not one thread per pr workstream)

Smallest useful scope

just a toggle that changes the diff mode somehow
