Committer date and author date are not 100% reliable for dividing a commit history up by release or branch. A PR created before a release but merged after can have earlier dates… — this can be quite frustrating if you're trying to pin down commits for a release: _It should be there!_, but then isn't. (This gets worse using release branches.) Would you be open to adding the `sha` of a `parent` of a commit to the commit table? (As an FK? 🤔 — likely not feasible.) It's part of the [response body](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/commits#get-a-commit): ``` "parents": [ { "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/Hello-World/commits/6dcb09b5b57875f334f61aebed695e2e4193db5e", "sha": "6dcb09b5b57875f334f61aebed695e2e4193db5e" } ], ``` I think this list should only have a single entry. (🤔 — not sure why it's a list then...) With this it would be possible to build/reconstruct a chain of commits from the history, that I don't **think** is available as yet (unless you know a better way). It is certainly possible to get sequential lists of commits out of git directly, so the same would be possible combining tools, but wondering if a single tool could do it. What do you think?
