[TSVN] New Bug-ID option in Commit

Hello again
(is the rest of the world is sick of Australiens yet?;-)

Was just playing with the new Bug-ID/Issue-Nr option in the
commit dialog, and thinking about how our team can use this.

We use devhound for bug/issue tracking, etc, and each issue
has an ID assigned to it, so we can link them to revisions.

I like the way TortoiseSVN adds the text to the log message,
but it would be nice to allow text other than "Bug-ID:" to be used,
simply because it may not be a bug that was in the revision.

So perhaps in the Settings, when a user has the "Show Bug-ID"
checkbox ticked, an edit box is enabled allowing them to set the
text to be prefixed (you could of course default to "Bug-ID").

For our team it would be "Issue-ID"

You could then show this user-defined value in commit dialog
instead of generic Bug-ID/Issue-Nr text.

The ability to open a URL inside the log window(s) would also be
nice. For example, instead of adding a Bug-ID, our team could
paste a URL providing a direct link between systems. This could
then be available for linking when viewing log messages in Tortoise,
or another SVN tool (eg. the RSS newsfeed in WebSVN)

I appreciate this part is a non-trivial task and needs some thought.

Am happy to file an issue for this if the hive mind agrees.

peace
