Sorry for the late reply. I was on a vacation, and I am just catching
up with the January e-mail.
Issuetracker-to-TortoiseSVN integration is indeed a welcome feature.
However, I wonder about the necessity of using COM for that.
How about extending "Start commit" hook interface instead?
I propose:
1) Allow %MESSAGEFILE% parameter in Start commit hook.
The hook should write an initial message text to that file.

2) Add %BUGID% (%BUGIDFILE%?) parameter --
a file where the hook should write bug ID(s) for this commit.

This idea seems much simpler to me, while allowing essentially the
same functionality.
