I think the issue for me will be that IDEs tend to show diff with head, I'm not even sure you can configure them otherwise.


I’m not a big “VCS in an IDE” person but visualjj works for vs code, and there’s other plugins to, I hear. If your IDE isn’t configurable and assumes certain things then it might not work, yeah.


I don't mean VCS UI, I mean that in the project view and when viewing source files, the editor highlights added, removed and changed lines and normally if you click on it it shows the diff at that code block.

Generally IDEs will be diffing against head or staging and it's not very configurable.


Yeah, visualjj does that stuff. But for sure, if your IDE isn’t configurable there’s not much that can be done.
