Yes you are. :-) Subversion's commits are "packaged" into atomic
groups already. If a bugfix touches 14 files, then 'svn commit' will
create a new global revision, and the bug is said to be "fixed by
revision N". At any time, 'svn log -v -rN' will show you the exact
change (including list of files) that fixed the bug. So there's no
need to remember which file-changes fixed a bug -- just remember the
name of the commit which fixed it. That's the information you put
into the issue tracker when you close a bug.
