huge fan of this model. i started my own proof of concept of it a while ago, tho didn't take it this far. i assume you can track the status of the bug independently per branch?
Bugs storage and management is entirely disconnected from the regular code and branches. That said, it probably make sense to be able to tag a bug with the branches that are affected.
ah, bummer. yeah, "closing" a bug in a branch / PR, and then having that status automatically tracked across all merges into master / other branches is i think a huge win for this kind of idea. (vs. manually tracking it per branch, which is a good feature but no one ever seems to use, i believe because it's just to labor intensive.)
That helps you track the location of one fix, but not of all the other places the bug still resides (other release trains, for instance.) I feel like maybe there are several release models that would benefit from different types of bug trackers.
agreed. to be clear i like this project a lot. we desperately need innovation in this area. this current github+jira duopoly on issue tracking is annoying.
