Merge closing commit from new-branch

This commit tries to close issues from a branch other than master without actually merging it into master.

Unfortunately, it didn't close them; this PR is the only way those issues will be closed. Another option would be a merge, but it will have the same results.

From the Github help:
>When you enter "Fixes #45" into a commit message, issue #45 is closed once that commit is merged into **your default branch**. **If the bug isn't fixed in your default branch, the issue remains open**. Once the commit with the fix is merged into your default branch, the issue is automatically closed.
