I think it's a step in the proper direction. My take, as a newbie ;), at 
it would be more like:

<3> Changes between the current tip of the topic and the tip of master 
branch at the moment the topic branched off.

I think the ASCII art explains why I think that way.

ASCII art <1> or <2>:
--o--x
   \
    -x

ASCII art <3>:

--x---
   \
    -x

where the x marks the changes to be diffed
