Bug Description

When doing code reviews in merge-requests, often it is very beneficial to reference comments to specific chunks of code. In an email, one could just do inline comments (although these don't really get presented in any explicitly wonderful manner in the web ui) - but in the web ui there is just about no good way to make specific comments on specific chunks of code.

I want to enhance the request, because I think that not only on merge request a comment function would be great. In github you found support for every commit.

I second the suggestion to allow comments on any commit. Code review should not be restricted to merge requests.

+1, this would be very helpful. The alternative is to setup an additional layer of branches and comment through merge requests, but this is over-the-top in many cases where post-review is enough.

+1. How can this feature request be low priority. it is an essential feature to really do code reviews! github gets this right and there is even Rietveld (codereview.appspot.com) which is aweful looking but functional.

In launchpad I have to copy and paste the line i am revering and/or constantly scroll down and up between textbox and diff - not very pleasing at all.

Looks like this is fixed (see related branch).

There are very many pieces to this feature. Many are landed, some are still not.
