Description Markus Keller CLA 2017-05-16 13:45:16 EDT 
I often use the History view filtered by the current selection/editor. In that setup, I sometimes want to use the parent commit of the selected commit as Quick Diff baseline.

Since my History view is filtered, the next commit in the list is not really the parent commit. Setting that commit as baseline works fine for the given file, but it usually shows way too many changes for other files touched in the commit.

Request: Add "Set Parent as Baseline" as second action in the Quick Diff menu.
