[SurveyForge-devel] Issue management in Subversion/SourceForge.net

[Jose G. G. <jgo...@gm...>]

I've added issue management support to the subversion repository. This is
done defining some svn properties at the folders of the project. These
properties are currently defined in the trunk folder, so as long as you
always checkout this folder, they will be available. TortoiseSVN and
Sublipse have suppot for this, and you will see that whenever you do a
commit a new field is shown to be filled in, something like Issue Nr (it
depends on localization). This should be filled in with the corresponding
"Request ID" field from the bug tracker at sf.net. Unfortunately this
support only handles URLs with a BUGID parameter, so we won't be able to
link commits with issues other than the bug tracker. So summing up:

1. Everybody working on the project should always checkout the trunk folder
(or the corresponding branch or tag) but not a subfolder
2. Whenever a commit is made, if the commit is related to a reported issue,
the Issue Nr field must be filled in
3. Issues other than bugs reported at the tracker should be converted to
bugs if we want to have them linked to its related commit

Best regards
