The PR interface is not very intuitive for describing the source branch and the target branch.

Body

Currently, on the open PR screen, the summary that outlines the source branch and the target branch can cause confusion. At least in Western contexts, we tend to think first about: where it comes from; and second: where it's going to. However, the current interface does the opposite, first: where it's going to; and second: where it comes from.

I believe that this change would make understanding a "pull request" more explicit and transparent for code reviewers, reducing potential misunderstandings in this process.

I also support this request. It would be very nice to be able to control in settings how this can be displayed across different repos.
