Support Deployments with a "branch & merge" strategy

When using a git flow like branching strategy with feature branches and a main (or release) branch in which they get merged, Deployments won’t show up in Jira after the merge.

If I push a commit with issue key KEY-1 into the feature branch, the deployment shows up connected with the KEY-1 issue in Jira.

When I merge the feature branch into main, the deployment that is triggered from the main branch, doesn’t show up in Jira (i.e. it’s not being connected with the KEY-1 issue.

I guess we need to implement some smart logic that crawls all commits that have been made on the feature branch, but are not yet in the main branch, and check those commits for issue keys and then add those issue keys to the deployment
