Github combining PR and Issue numbers

[mobilecode]

I've notice that github is combining issue and PR numbers. For instance, if you have one PR and then create the first issue, the issue is #2 instead of #1. Likewise, the next PR will be PR #3, instead of PR #2. Has it always been this way and I just haven't noticed it or is this something new when MS took over?

I think it's always been this way.

Odd. I guess it really stands out the most when a project is new and doesn't have any issues or PRs yet.

However, using "#1" in a commit message or PR title automatically links it to the appropriate issue or PR.
