Git difftool -y --merge-base B -- compares with B instead of fork point

I often work on a feature-branch
which gets behind a fast-moving main
branch.
I would like to see changes in the feature-branch
w/r to its fork-point from main
.
In a stock git I can do (assuming feature-branch
is checked out)
git diff --merge-base main
I tried to accomplish something similar with vim-fugitive using
Git difftool -y --merge-base main
This correctly opened new tabs for files changed in the feature-branch
(skipping later changes in main
),
however the files were compared to the main
rather than to the fork point from main
.
Would it be possible to get this fixed?
I see this behavior in the latest fugitive version at 320b18f.
