Does Sourcetree offer a way to visualize differences between git branches?

I'm looking for:

  • names of files that have changed
  • diffs between these files

Use ⌘ (OSX) or CTRL (Windows and Linux) and choose any two commits you like in log view. It does not matter what branch the commits belong to.

As a result you will see something like...

Displaying all changes between f03a18bf0370c62bb5fb5c6350589ad8def13aea and 4a4b176b852e7c8e83fffe94ea263042c59f0548

...down below.
