are considering modifying commit messages
to indicate the bugs introduced in each revision. It should then be
possible to answer the above question with a simple svn log + grep.
I would be interested to hear any feedback the community has on this.

Currently we track bug fixes by including a reference number within the

If you already use a bug tracker, doesn't that provide a mechanism to
file bugs against
We do use Bugzilla to track issues, you are correct that you can file
the bug against multiple branches and we do.
However, what if a branch is created after the bug has been added to
Bugzilla. Someone would have to manually inspect the revision at which
the branch was taken and create

It's an intriguing prospect. I am assuming you're referring to the
revision where the bug was discovered. For example, I might have a
defect that's been in my system for years, but didn't know about it
until release 2.1.0 came out.
It's not hard to do, and may be useful. I've never done it

will not. The problem here is that as the number of bugs and branches
increase the job of answering the question does bug x appear in branch y?
becomes ever more difficult.
