      Issue Summary

      When creating a pull request on a forked repository and selecting the parent repository as the destination, the "Create PR" page sometimes shows "Nothing has changed" in the commits section, even when there are differences between the source and destination branches.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Fork a repository
      2. Make some changes in the forked repository
      3. Create a pull request by selecting the parent repository as the destination
      4. Sometimes the differences don't load the commits. 

      Expected Results

      • The diff should automatically load and displayed

      Actual Results

      • The message
        Nothing has changed
        This commit has no changed files to display
        

      Sometimes the commits don't load in the diff. 

      Workaround

      • Need to refresh the page multiple times to load the diff.

      OR

      • Select the destination repository and select the destination branch
