What would you ever enter twice? Bug reports go into GNATS, code goes
into CVS.

In your bug tracking system, you can make certain references to versions.
For example, a bug can be marked as having been discovered in 
release 'toaster_1_3' and laster marked as having been fixed in
'toaster_1_7'. Not by coincidence, these would correspond to release
tags in CVS.
