issue and git commit: where is the link stored in the (sql) database?

[Nicolas Ziegler]

I need to get all issues that are linked to a given list of git commits and I have to do this by accessing the Oracle Database directly. What database tables are involved in that linking?

[John Kelly · Accepted solution]

The link is not stored, it's based on the issue key being in the branch name or the commit message.

Thank you for your reply! I wonder how ist the JQL property gitCommitsReferenced is evaluated. Is git called every time "on the fly" ?

@Nicolas Ziegler , why did you accept @John Kelly`s answer without any proofs?

The question is still relevant.
