Create pull request shows "nothing to compare" in mobile but open changes on website

Body

Hi,

I'm trying to create a pull request in the mobile app to merge changes from my "release/stage" branch into my "release/production" branch.

However when I try to create the pull request in the mobile app and select both branches it just shows "Nothing to compare" and I cannot create a pull request.

On the website (aka https://github.com/org/repo/compare/release/production...release/stage) it shows all the changes.

When I "turn it around" and select stage as base branch both systems show the same changes (aka merging the previous merge commits stage->prod back into stage).

edit: Seems to be something fundamental on how mobile is thinking about PRs. Here is a quick example repo: sal-lochbaum/merge-test@production...main which shows a change; the mobile app shows "Nothing to compare" (translating from german).
