Is this somehow different from how they showed differences between files in the fork queue? I forked my first repo a week or so ago, and saw something identical to this, but it could be I got on the first set of changes.

Not to say it's not ridiculously awesome, that is. This is a fantastic way to see differences. GitHub is awesome.

The feature has actually been live for a month (or two?). We just haven't had much UI pointing to it, so it's very likely you have seen it before.

The fork queue doesn't show diffs or commit comments, or differences between branches on the same repo (for instance: reviewing a topic branch). Similarly, the compare view does not allow comparing across forks (yet).
