It's probably worth mentioning Bugs Everywhere, too:

The basic idea of keeping your bug database with the code seems
attractive: they can follow ancestry and so on.

I'm not entirely convinced, though.  Do you have to modify every
branch once you find a general bug?  Ah, I guess DaggyFixes resolves
that neatly: you just add it to an ancestor, and merge to the relevant
branches?
