In the change screen a user can select various objects as base for the diff view: a regular patch set, the base of a patch set, the parent of a merge, the auto-merge of a merge or an edit patch set. At the moment all of these are represented by a PatchSet.Id: * regular patch set: PatchSet.Id with id > 0 * base of a patch set: null * the parent of a merge: PatchSet.Id with id < 0 * auto-merge of a merge: null * edit patch set: PatchSet.Id with id == 0 This means if we only look at the patch set ID and it is null, we don't know if it's the base of a patch set or the auto-merge of a merge. To understand what null means, we must know if we are looking at a merge commit, but this knowledge is not available in all classes. This change refactors the UI classes to take a DiffObject as base instead of a PatchSet.Id so that in future we can differentiate between the base of a patch set and the auto-merge of a merge (see follow-up change).

Gerrit Code Review
Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.
Objective
Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.
Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.
Documentation
For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.
