More or less yes. I think it is a bit like when you document a project on github. https://help.github.com/articles/creating-project-pages-manually/ The gh-pages branch is disconnected from the source code (ie, there are two DAGs, but they live in the same repository. > Are you also suggesting that the "bug DAG" be a git repo > separate from the source repo? Of course, if that are disjoint DAGs, it's easy to make them live in different repositories. But git allows to handle several disjoint DAGs in one repository. (My Definition: A "repository" is simply a collection of git-objects (and the pointers to form DAGs) under a common name). > In a pile-of-sand (POS) project organized by a directory > structure would it be just as easy to have a bugs directory > in every sub-directory? That would seem to fulfill the goal > but can git have overlapping git-managed directories? I don't think that a bug directory in every sub-dir would make sense. Bugs sometimes touch different parts of a program and usually the submitter of the bug has no idea, in which part of program the bug might be hidden. Otherwise I don't understand "overlapping git-managed directories" to be able to give a good answer. > Your bugseverywhere.org <http://bugseverywhere.org> link seems to cover most > of my > suggestions (except certain LP-specific ones). Well, that's what I found and what (I think) would be good, but read also http://travisbrown.ca/blog.html#TooMuchAboutDistributedBugTracking2013-04-20 There are lots of things to consider before one embarks on a particular distributed bugtracker. Obviously, in contrast to distributed version control systems, the world hasn't yet seen a great acceptance of distributed bugtrackers.
