Hi
I try make us include such information in the commit messages when we commit bug fixes, with a "Bug:" line that points to a URL or similar with futher info of the report of a problem. That info would then be included in the generated changelog. Unfortunately, we sometimes forget to include that info.
ah I see, the changelog at http://curl.haxx.se/changes.html is like the RELEASE-NOTES file and doesn't have this info, but the CHANGES file in the sources does. Would be nice if it was possible to include a bugId in the changes.html though.
In this particular case the bug report clearly identifies a commit that fixed the problem: "The issue was fixed with commit 1bab38780b. Thank you!"
If I have a tracker issue, it's easy to find the commit and the fixed version, but I came the other way, looking at the changelog.html

cheers, Frank
