API: `GET /projects/:id/repository/commits/:sha` Returns an example JSON fragment for merge commits: `"message": "Merge branch 'example' into 'master'\n\nChange the things\n\nSee merge request !123"` The problem is that I must string parse for the string `\n\nSee merge request !\d+` to get the merge request number. It would be much less error prone if the API returned an optional field for that "merge_request" number ### Proposal If a commit came from a merge request, in addition to including the existing human readable message, include a field in the JSON response called `merge_request` containing the merge request number. ### Links / references https://gitlab.com/help/api/commits.md#get-a-single-commit
