The dashboard was recently updated to show the commit that the forum has been updated to.

But, the link it uses is to [compare it to tests-passed](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/32b8a2ccffd50d78b8f7be6f0b524506cd2dbd7e...tests-passed). This is weird. It’s showing _only_ the commits that your forum _doesn’t have_.

Why not show [the list of commits you do have](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/32b8a2ccffd50d78b8f7be6f0b524506cd2dbd7e)? The URL is very simple:

`https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/32b8a2ccffd50d78b8f7be6f0b524506cd2dbd7e`

It’s the same link as it was before the cosmetic change, but yes it should be changed to a simple link to the commit.
