• Stacked pull requests are a great way to split work into smaller changes, which makes reviews easier and helps teams ship with less risk.
• But some changes, like this one, can’t be split cleanly.
• That leaves you with a single pull request that can get very large, and the review conversation causes it to grow.
• The review experience needs to remain fast and smooth even when the diff and its conversation are enormous.
• In the GitHub Copilot app , we rebuilt the pull request view with that requirement in mind.
