Ticketing system linked to Subversion repository
Posted: Sun Dec 26, 2010 11:07 am
I'm looking into this as a holiday project, and wandered what features people want in such systems?
Able to put a comment into a commit message that automatically links to a ticket, and optionally changes status of that ticket.
But ability to remove/add links by hand if the subversion comments are wrong or are forgotten. I haven't seen this is any system's I've used, and given that you only have one chance to get the commit comment right it seems essential.
Link subversion users to actual users in the ticket system. One very popular ticket system annoyed me by emailing everyone on a ticket when a commit was made, including the person who made the commit.
Pick up branch and tag automatically, and be able to pull out lists of tickets applied between 2 points. The 2 points could be different versions, thus generating the raw material for a release note automatically.
