I think something like this would add into the diff all new commits that
where pushed to master.

One option is to do the same but against the last commit from master
included into the branch (it's easy to identify as just under the last
merge).  ATM would be:

git diff 6c0f1c26d2...origin/feature/native-comp

Other option is to just merge master into native-comp and do the diff
against master.

Not a git wizard so there could be even simpler ways to do that :)

Great
