Same here: I don't like adding code to work around your limitation.

So how do you conntect your different tracking systems? I mean, you have
one for code reviews, one for bugs, one for ....
Assume I want to get all the information about a bug. I'd like to see
the entry in the bug tracker, then the entries in the code review
tracker, then the entries in the release tracker, then the entries in
whatever tracker you use.

I don't think it's the job of a version control client to connect your
trackers together - that's something that shouldn't even be necessary.
