Bug Description

When reviewing code changes in a merge request, it would be very useful to have the ability to show the entire contents of changed files, not just the surrounding 3 lines for each changeset. This could be off by default, with an option to turn it on at will from within the diff itself.

As things stand today, I always end up grabbing a local copy of the target branch, merge the source branch into it, and use "bzr qdiff" with its "View Options > Complete" setting to do a proper code review. It would be great if I didn’t have to leave my browser tab to do that.

+1 to that.

Alternatively, LP could add direct links to changed file sources.
