Best Integrated Issue-Tracker For Subversion?

Posted by timothy on from the good-subversives-use-samizdat dept.

JobSeeker writes "Now that subversion has merge tracking my boss wants to save money by dropping our expensive commercial solution. I've pretty much convinced myself that subversion can do the job. I like it. But what about integrated issue tracking? Version control without issue tracking is only half a solution. The TortoiseSVN docs say a little about bugzilla and not much else. What ready-to-play options (commercial or open source) exist for deploying subversion on commercial projects?"

    Big problems with trac (to the point to be showstoppers to us):
    1) Support for only one project/product per install
    2) Tickets don't support hierarchies
    3) No real ACLs

    Not that there are no (more or less dirty) workarounds but for us, Trac is "almost there" but still not on target (and so has been for about two years).

    I will say, the designers on my team dislike git significantly. Their lives were almost entirely covered with "svn co/ci" and the idea of having to keep a remote tracking branch, merge a work branch with it, push the changes to the master repo...this just irritates them.

    .. and their irritation seems unjustified ?
