Control Freak: Jira policies trigger on tags

Hi,

We have a Jira policy to require that the referenced issue exist in Jira. (“Jira Policy” > “Jira References Must” > “Exist in Jira”). We enabled this only on the master and release branches, so we can have invalid draft commits on the feature branches.

However, when we try to create release/xxx tag on a feature branch that contain an invalid commit, it fails.

Steps to reproduce:

» git checkout -b feature/test
» echo "Change" > changes.txt
» git add .
» git commit -m "DUMMY-1234: this issue does not exist"
» git push --set-upstream origin feature/test
# push successful, because feature branches are lenient

» git tag release/1.0
» git push origin --tags
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: Control Freak: Push rejected. Commits on "release/1.0" must satisfy JIRA policy.
