Source Control Integration Requirements
Author: John Reese
Introduction
One of the major features that bug tracking software requires is direct integration with version control software. Mantis is currently in an odd position, because it does not have any ability to integrate with VCS systems, yet it offers a way for any VCS to pass a textual message to Mantis that will be attached to bugs as simple bugnotes. This process is useful, but very limited, and many users prefer tightly integrated systems such as Trac.
The goal with this feature is to provide a VCS-agnostic interface which will allow for direct integration with version control software, but will not favor a single system. This feature will attract many businesses and projects which need direct integration with their source control system, some of which may have multiple repositories in various VCS systems.
