Creating a jira for each single commit will flood the dev list with
unnecessary jira notifications (create, close, etc) and will probably
make users that are lurking in the dev list to unsubscribe... It
should be pretty simple to just add a simple description on the commit
log message, and associate it with a jira if one exists. This makes
life easy for the ones just looking into the commit e-mails from last
night, or the ones looking into some tool like TortoiseSVN, but also
simple for people browsing jira, as the commit tab will easily display
the list of revisions that were changed in relation to this specific
jira.
