Can PhpStorm show edited line status for code that's committed but not yet merged? [duplicate]

Question

PHP shows a "line status" marker in the lefthand gutter indicating whether a line has been edited since "the last update" (per https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/file-status-highlights.html#editor)

If you're using git, then any time you regularly commit your work like a good developer, you can no longer see which lines or files you have modified.

It would be nice if I could tell PhpStorm "please consider the deploy-candidate branch to be 'the last update', so I can easily see what I've actually changed in my current task's BUG-9463-Fix-Login-Button branch."

So: Is there a setting to show all changes in your local branch as "edited"?

Notes:

1) As an alternative, a correct answer could be a git incantation to fool the editor. I'd be OK with having to undo that incantation each time before I committed, and redo it after I push, since I can just automate that in .gitconfig anyway.

2) Ideally it'd also show which files were changed in your branch in the "local changes" tab, but while that'd be a bonus, it's not the focus of this question, nor required in a correct answer.

3) While it shows similar information, the undeniably awesome diff tool is no substitute for line-status indicators.

There's this request submitted to the tracker: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-24398

And it appears that someone has made a plugin partially addressing the request: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10083-git-scope
