This happened when a user's default branch had different remote and local versions on their system. Because we would get a diff using just a branch name without using it's remote name as well I'm not sure if we want this behavior, but I'm openning this PR because I run into this when openning the BranchDiff and it was confusing to figure out what was going on from a user's perspective.

This is a better default because it's far less confusing from a user's perspective to debug what's going on.
