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?"

    Mercurial does "merge tracking," though its not listed as that, it is just inherently part of the system.

    Well, to be fair, so does SVN now (finally!). I don't know how well it works.

    I would second this poster though; if you haven't tried one of the distributed VCSs like Git or Mercurial (there are others, but these are the two that have looked most promising to me), you should. That said, it's not completely a given that you'll end up liking it more than SVN.
