Scmbug integrates software configuration management (SCM) with bug-tracking. It aims to solve the integration problem once and for all. It will glue any source code version control system (such as CVS/CVSNT, Subversion, Git) with any bug-tracking system (such as Bugzilla, Mantis, Request Tracker, Test Director).
Scmbug is free software released under the GPL license.
