"Open Revisions Affecting These Files" does not indicate direction of dependency
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

See for instance D35. It lists D33 and D36 as other revisions that affect the same file. What's really going on is D36 is based on D35 which is based on D33 (in git itself), but there's no way to see in the UI that D35 is in the middle of the stack rather than at the bottom or at the top. Gerrit, OTOH, distinguishes between "Depends on" and "Needed by".

Phab doesn't automatically understand git-based dependencies, but has it's own dependency chain system, which it shows on the Details section.

I've marked D35 as 'depends on" D33 as an example/test.

(Use "edit dependencies" from top-right action list to edit; It also parses "Depends on Dxx" from diff messages for this).

Can we get an updated repo case for this task? This was imported from the test phab instance and the Differentials references are not the same ones here :)

I think this is sufficient. Closing as invalid. If not, please reopen.
