Compare directory between two tags (or branches)

[rksys]

the feature Compare directories with between two branches is really cool ! But it seems not very convenient to compare directory between two tags:

Currently, I am reading a project called requests and often need to see the changes between two tags (like compare 0.4.0..0.5.0.). If I want to see all the changes between these two tags, I need checkout to 0.5.0 at first, then manually browse to find the commit hash in gitlens pane, after that fire an Open All Changes With Working Tree command. the process of eyeballing to the hash of tag 0.4.0 is sort of painful as there are many commits from 0.5.0 to 0.4.0.

So, I am wondering if gitlens have a more convenient way to do that, or whether can add a feature to do it more directly: specify any previous tag, then we can open all the changes with current working tree.

The is use-and-feel is like:

https://github.com/requests/requests/compare/aa331946...2d98ca74
                                              ^0.4.0      ^0.5.0

@rksys GitLens 7 adds this ability -- you can now select a tag in the GitLens view, right-click and select Select for Compare, and then select another tag, right-click and select Compare with Selected and it will open the new GitLens Results view with a comparison of those 2. It works for tag, branches, commits, etc
