Excellent.

One feature that I think we should be using is the ability of Redmine to 
cross-reference repository commits with issue tracking. 
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineSettings#Referencing-issues-in-commit-messages 
observes that a commit message of "|This commit refs #1, #2 and fixes 
#3|" will create the appropriate URL cross-references in those three 
issues. Conversely, in Redmine discussion, the use of "commit:c6f4d0fd" 
displays a link to that commit with text "c6f4d0fd". This should enhance 
the usability of Redmine as a discussion forum, because you can get 
access to source code contents and git diffs in the browser at the click 
of a link.

I think it would be overkill to require the creation or linking of a 
Redmine issue for every commit, however. Thoughts?
