The Bugtraq specification defines properties for Subversion repositories to
allow client software to link commit messages to issue reports in a web-based
issue-tracking system.
See http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/svn/tortoisesvn/trunk/doc/issuetrackers.txt
(username 'guest', no password).
Hudson could detect these properites in a Subversion working copy and use them
to find issue numbers in log messages so that appropriate hyper-links can be
inserted in the changes pages.
The only thing that is stopping me from implementing this at the moment is that
it could interfere with the existing ChangeLogAnnotators in the Jira and Trac
plug-ins.
I think that the Bugtraq approach is a more general solution to the same
problem that these annotators address. It does require the properties to be
present in the repository, but it provides configuration for all tools that use
the Subversion repository, not just Hudson, and it doesn't require Hudson to
know about every possible issue tracker.
I'm open to suggestions on the best way to implement this without causing
problems for the existing annotators.
