Usually i can be achieved by clicking on the referenced commit, and then inspecting what tags are on that commit, but it's several clicks and a minute or two vs just looking at the field in Jira... This can be made easier by using milestones as seen here (random example, used gradle because it's a very large, healthy project): https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/20182 But I've seen a lot of projects that don't do that... which probably colors my view a bit. -Gus -- http://www.needhamsoftware.com (work) http://www.the111shift.com (play)
