Consider listing commits unique for a branch with assumed fork-point marked within the override fork point dialog

    Re-posting so that it's not lost:

I'd suggest another thing however (can be done within a separate issue): to display, within the Override Fork Point dialog, the list of commits that will be considered unique to the branch, assuming the selected fork point... WDYT?

So to my understanding that would make the dialog look almost exactly like Register New File Type Association dialog. The difference now is that we have a combo box instead of a "table". Is that right?

Hmmm TBD... I'd rather imagine adding a list of effective unique commit to the existing design from PR #1168.

I.e. the 3 radio buttons + combobox as on #1168, plus in an extra right panel in the dialog window, include the table with the commits unique to the branch, assuming the selected fork point. Or even awesomer, a piece of git machete status, with the branch, its parent, and the unique commits listed 🤔
