That makes a lot of sense.  (When you said you switched to git, I 
figured you must be using GitHub.  ;)

So, I've been working on a project called Basie 
<http://basieproject.org/> which would be perfect for what you're trying 
to do, except it's not really production quality.  The direction Basie 
is now taking is to extract out the useful bits, and make them available 
to plug into Django as Pinax <http://github.com/pinax/pinax/> apps. 
Fortunately, there's already a Pinax app for issue tracking 
<http://github.com/pinax/pinax/tree/master/pinax/apps/tasks/>, and the 
Basie project has contributed a VCS-browser.  Sadly, the VCS-browser 
only supports svn and hg for now 
<http://bitbucket.org/basie/vcsbrowser/src/tip/apps/vcsbrowser/backends/>, 
but adding git support shouldn't be too hard.  (It was mainly licensing 
issues which were preventing it, afair.)

Later,
Blake.
