Sorry, nevermind. The test failed for a different reason:

2018-09-11T16:02:20.2680990Z ++ git range-diff changed-message 'HEAD@{2}' HEAD 2018-09-11T16:02:20.2779250Z fatal: Log for 'HEAD' only has 2 entries. 2018-09-11T16:02:20.2802520Z error: could not parse log for 'changed-message..HEAD@{2}' 2018-09-11T16:02:20.2817470Z error: last command exited with $?=255 2018-09-11T16:02:20.2832300Z not ok 12 - amend and check

Ryenus, it would help if you could create and push the following branches based on your local repro:

     git branch base HEAD@{2}

     git branch topic HEAD

     git push origin base topic

Also, does the following command fail, after creating the branches?

     git range-diff origin/master base topic

Thanks,
