Show tags in commit history

Add a link to a tag that is set on a commit when looking at the commit history. This makes it easier to identify new commits that haven’t been released yet, or identify change ranges.

I realize you can use the pull request/diffing UI for that, but that’s way more complicated than looking at the history, especially when a tag only includes a few commits. Plus you need to know the tag name in to compare, since those are not auto completed by the UI.

@hkdobrev I have waaay to much experience with graphQL.

1. Must be authenticated and cannot be anonymous. (so certain things would not work without a token)
2. They are always changing stuff.

I helped @k0shk0sh build FastHub we spent 2 months trying to switch to V4 and we ended up reverting the whole thing. If it was me I would wait another 4-5 months. Lately they have been adding many more typical things. IMHO it’s worth the wait

With the API we could query the repo’s refs (paged) and match them to whatever commits are visible on the current page. It probably wouldn’t require more than 1-2 extra HTTP requests per commit page, which is fine for me.

This is definitely a feature I’d like and use. I don’t mind finally seeing API integration, we already even have a GHE API URL helper
