So git-based workflows won't benefit from this then?
There's no particular dependence on any VC system. I will be making a report on each bzr commit to make sure there is a corresponding ticket that tracks the upstream state.
Sounds tedious. It probably isn't, so I'll wait for you to post your results.
At the moment you do need a backing Launchpad ticket to record the state changes. Out of interest, can git record meta data with a commit, such as the upstream status, and modify that meta data after the commit
Not in git-core AFAIK. I'm assuming you want to store free-form text with each commit. You could potentially use git hooks to store additional data is a separate file.
Does anyone else have similar requirements, use for such a tool, or know of tools that already cover this?
It would be very useful for tracking kernel/tools deltas in the Kernel and PM WG. I know the Ubuntu Kernel team has expressed an interest in such a tool too.
OK. I'll post by brief when it's done and we'll see if it meets others needs.
