Sorry for being unclear: Yes, I was mainly thinking about this plugin. It's the main differentiation factor at that point. As the attempts at something similar on the Redmine side are rather unsatisfying so far. > It sounds from the front page like it has some nice features Redmine > doesn't have but they don't seem to pan out.

IIRC you can annotate, but that'd still be after the facts (has to be in a repo monitored by the app) and AFAIK doesn't help for the merge itself. As I said, gitorious will be hard to beat there.

That's one of my worries with Retrospectiva as well. > OTOH, it seems to be supported by the commercial entity where the guy > works.

Yup. Worth contacting the guy to know more about the actual link between the Retrospectiva project and where he works I guess. My 0.01€ (yeah, adding less value now :) ).
