It just shows a closure notice without even a link to the commit: ``` John Doe closed 3 days ago ``` ### Proposal For all commits that mention an issue, regardless of if it's `Refs`, `Fixes` or anything else, the commit headline should be displayed: ``` John Doe mentioned in commit "Data structures for implementing feature A" 4 days ago John Doe mentioned in commit "Backend support for feature A" 4 days ago John Doe mentioned in commit "Frontend support for feature A" 4 days ago John Doe mentioned in commit "Enable feature A in staging" 3 days ago ``` The closure commit could be displayed as ``` John Doe closed the issue with commit "Enable feature A in production" 3 days ago ``` Why is it important? Currently, if a user is looking for a specific commit related to an issue, they have to open each of the referencing commits. It's a big inconvenience and waste of time. This feature should be easy to implement, but significantly improve usability of the product.
