I have neither looked at the code I referenced nor worked in a project with
auto-close, but I assume it would usually work in the way that the commit
message would have to include some (semi-natural) phrase that triggers the
close ("^This fixes bug #(\d+)\.", "^Fixes: (\d+)$", etc.)  So if a commit
doesn't fix a bug, you just don't use the exact phrase but maybe "This
partially fixes bug #123"." and everything's as you expected.

  Regarding deployment, while I see your point, I think not using this facility
would still leave the ambiguity: Has the deployment *really* been done?  In the
past, there have been delays when difficulties were encountered or manpower was
short.  Another automated comment on a closed bug will cause no harm, but
*actively* inform the reporter who cares about the bug and not require *them*
to do something.

  This of course *could* depend on how the deployment branch is organized, i.
e. how a commit that is "reverted" is recognizable to some script so I would
consider this part low priority.
