Display the number of commits behind target branch (master) while creating the MR
Description
In our workflow we require everyone to merge master to their branches before submitting a MR. From the current Merge Request UI page it is not possible to figure out if a branch is behind master or not. This is only shown after someone creates the MR. This inofrmation is already available under the branches tab but I usually don't use that page to create the MR
Proposal
Display the number of commits behind the target branch while creating the MR in the MR page.
