And of what use is linking to your issue tracker in this fashion, you
can put the list of issues fixed in the commit comment, but really what
you will only ever want to know is what revision was this issue fixed
in, which is linking from the issue tracker to the subversion
repository, where stating fixed in trunk revision xxx gives you an
explicit way of getting to a revision of a project.
On a more general note, this is getting a little longwinded, when IMHO
there has not been any good argument for aliasing a number to a text
string other than "I don't like using a number to define a repository
state". If you are all so desperate to save typing, why not simply
create an svn wrapper script that allows you to macro a revision number
and repository path to an "easy to remember" text string. Thus you could
type:
my_svn "My easy to remember string"
To do a get on a predefined revision.

Oh well - here is my contribution to keep this going a bit longer ;)
