Re: cvs and gnats link?

[Bob Bowen]

I'd reinforce the sentiments that have already been posted about
Bugzilla. We use a checkin template to collect several items of
information from the user and then update the Bugzilla tables via CVS'
loginfo hook and it has worked very well for us for over a year with
lots of users. The tricky parts were making sure we updated certain
fields only once per checkin (not once per directory) and then delaying
the notification mail of the changes until the last directory was
processed.

I can provide details for anyone interested,
