That makes it a bit harder to give relveant advice, of course. For a
start, do you want something purely webbased, or do you want to be able
to interact with it using email or commandline tools?

I guess one may want to have some association between commits and bugs
that are fixed (or introduced...). Or maybe close bugs in the bugtracker
by adding some magic marker to the commit message.

The hard core way is of course to keep track of this as test cases in
the repository. To report a bug, just commit a new testcase which
demonstrates it ;-)

easy or painful to install and manage?
