RE: Bug tracking.

[Wayne Johnson]

I had tried once to set up a system where a number was saved withing a
CVS file, the commit would check out the file, add a BUG ID and
description and check it back in.  

I had it working pretty well but got sidetracked never got back to it.

Maybe this would solve your problem.
