We can then fetch the commit comments for each of the candidate hashes to figure which hash the comment was made on. The solution to the second problem then piggy-backs on the first solution: if a hash with a given title isn't found, and the title ends with `...`, then go through all commit message titles and check if any of them has the given title as prefix.

Once the map is populated there will only be one additional REST request for most calls to `recentCommitComments`.
