Hi all,

My 2 cents below regarding ticket numbering:

I wrote some time ago about this as I think you can have a simple,
relatively easy to grasp ticket numbering in DCVS (not integer though). It
involves three simple steps:
- project create initializes internal repo ticket number with '1',
- project clone adds suffix '.1' to the repo ticket number,
- creating a ticket increases the last number after the last dot or the
only number if it is the primary project repository.

Having this you would end up with a tree of ticket numbers like:
'1', '2',...
'1.1', '1.2', ...
'2.1', '2.2', ...

and it would reflect the tree structure of all repositories of a project.

  Cheers,
  Jacek
