svngit2jira: Subversion and Git integration with JIRA tickets

[Michael Dürig <md...@apache.org>]

Hi,

I quite often find myself repeating information from a commit message in 
the associated JIRA ticket. So I think it would be nice to be able to 
update the JIRA ticket right from within the commit. Infra supports this 
through svngit2jira [1]. AFAIU this could be enabled for all commits. 
That is, each commit would result in a comment in the associated issue. 
Or through a defined trigger where the commit message needs to contain a 
specific string in order to be included in a JIRA comment.

Personally I'd prefer the 2nd option: it would enable us to still do WIP 
commits without filling JIRA with rubbish while more elaborate commit 
log messages could make it straight into JIRA.

If there are on strong concerns against this, I'll follow up with a vote 
later this weeks.

Michael

My only concern is whether those Jira updates would end up sending an
extra issues@ notification for each commits@ notification we receive.
In that case we'd definitely want the Jira update to only happen if
explicitly requested by some keyword in the commit message. Ideally,
if possible, such a keyword could also be used to automatically
resolve the relevant Jira issue.
