I suppose you are right, it isn't likely you would be using SF or tigris
for issue tracking but have your own repository.

What I was suggesting is that TSVN passes a temp file as a variable to the
process when it starts it and waits for the process to end to read the
file. The client would write the string that should appear in the Bug ID
field to the file. Like: 123, 234, 561
The alternative is the same thing, except instead of writing the selected
issues to the file, the process writes a specific XML format of all
possible issues and TSVN then reads the file when the process ends and
uses it to fill a list box or other UI. The only UI the client might
provide is whatever is needed to produce the list, such as gathering
authentication information. This might be the better way to go, but if
you did, I would still suggest that TSVN do it with a separate select
dialog so that the authentication was predictable. This would also give
you more opporunity to provide UI flourish, such as showing the issue
description and enabling a hyper link to the issue.
