svn bug tracking integration
my new workmate, jan, has just introduced me to the possibility of integrating subversion with a bug/issue tracker. more precisely, the functionality is part of the subclipse and tortoiseSVN plugins, and it is based on the concept of svn properties.
this help topic describes all the nuts and bolts in great detail.
in short, setting defined properties (like bugtraq:number, bugtraq:url, etc) on your project's root folder will make the commit dialog display an additional entry field:
the value of this field can then be accessed via a predefined %BUGID% token, which allows to construct a URL and thus link to your bugtracking system from the svn log.
