That way you can refer to bugs without saying that you've fixed them. (I.e., the syntax is ( bug#number [optional stuff]).) And we can later implement a git commit hook that sends the correct command to debbugs, so that all we have to do to fix and close a bug is to check in and to push it. That's what we do at work, and it works well for 97% of the use cases. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/
