I noticed that the changes tab of an MR does not get updated after changing target branch on said MR.

I have a develop branch, I branched off a new feature branch feature-XYZ, did a few hours work and branched off from feature-XYZ resulting in the branch feature-XYZ-subtask-1.

I created an MR from feature-XYZ-subtask-1 to develop. The changes tab showed 19 changes, which was more than I expected and I understood that I didn't want to merge into develop but rather into feature-XYZ (and the 19 changes did include all the commits on feature-XYZ).

So I edited the MR and changed the target branch to feature-XYZ. But I noticed that the changes tab still showed the 19 changes.

I wasn't sure what would happen when I merge the MR so I decided to play it safe and close the MR and open a completely fresh one with source and target I needed. This time the changes tab only showed 3 changes as was expected.
