Another defect tracking system of general use is gnats
(www.gnu.org/software/gnats/).

fwiw: My current employer uses gnats for defect tracking and commits are
integrated as well (actually, we are using an oracle backend for gnats
with the gnats front-end. This version of gnats is available via
http://professional.juniper.net/gnats/ and is still under discussion for
adoption as the next version of gnats -- it would be fairly
straightforward to support other SQL backends than just oracle as the
datastore).

Doing a google search for 'gnats cvs' should find you a number of
threads on integration of the two. You could also post your query to the
address@hidden mailing list.
