Description

I am missing the option to also compare tags and 'HEAD' in the compare endpoint. Github allows there also tags and HEAD.

For example on github this is possible: v1.0.0...HEAD

But with gitea it is not: https://try.gitea.io/gitea/gitea/compare/v1.0.0...HEAD

I think compare between versionid and 'HEAD' is also need.such as master...56b0228e72b9f62af41aa3e7c6b38f47424f5b47

Any update on this feature? It is the only thing that is preventing us from migrating to Gitea, we make heavy use of the tag compare for tracking changes between versions as well as presenting them in the changelogs.
