The typical setup is that; for any commit that contains a JIRA issue label,
the commit(!) is added to JIRA, which has explicit support for SVN.

It lists, Repsoitory, Revision, Date, user, commit message, and files that
were changed/added/removed, in a separate tab from the "Comments"

Too see an example; http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-41

Click on All to see comments as well as commits.

I searched for Subversion-Bugzilla integration and found scmbug (http://freshmeat.net/projects/scmbug/) which provides integration for Bugzilla and SVN or CVS. A sample page is at http:// bugzilla.mkgnu.net/show_bug.cgi?id=353. I have no idea if Infrastructure supports it, would consider supporting it or has a better alternative.

Since SVN has a global version number which would make it fairly easy to retrieve all changes from a particular commit, it might be sufficient to manually put the revision number in a Bugzilla comment after a SVN commit.

I have been using Jira issue numbers in my log4cxx CVS commits and Bugzilla issues in my log4j commits. I'm hoping that when we convert to Subversion, Jira will be able to associate the log4cxx commits with the corresponding issue.

I was not involved in the selection of JIRA for log4cxx. The recent Linux/BitKeeper unpleasantness make clear that a "friendly" software vendor might have a change of heart. I'm glad that vendors like Atlassian support ASF, but the risk of a vendor change of heart and the cost of migration must be weighed into tool selection.

I wasn't proposing a course of action, I was trying to collect information. I knew that we did not have issue/source code integration with our current Bugzilla+CVS set up and was vaguely aware that it was available in Jira+SVN and was unaware if it was available in Bugzilla+SVN. If the integration was desirable, then it would be good to know whether it would be better to make any changes at the same time as the SVN switchover.
