[Build] Diff from branch point

Sometimes Jenkins posts [spurious reports of new classes being added](apache#2339 (comment)). I believe this stems from diffing the patch against `master`, as opposed to against `master...`, which starts from the commit the PR was branched from. This patch fixes that behavior. Author: Nicholas Chammas <[email protected]> Closes apache#2512 from nchammas/diff-only-commits-ahead and squashes the following commits: c065599 [Nicholas Chammas] comment typo fix a453c67 [Nicholas Chammas] diff from branch point
