Hello,
We are looking for Software Configuration Life Cycle Management Tools. It looks to me that GIT supports Version Control only. Is this true or did I miss something?
Does GIT track software Defects? If so can you link elements in the software version repository to a defect?
Does GIT track Requirements? If so can you link elements in the software version repository to a requirement?
Can GIT link test cases to both a defect and elements in the software version repository?
I appreciate you attention to these questions. Looking forward to hearing form you.

Git is distributed version control system only (following UNIX
philosophy "Write programs that *do one thing* and *do it well*").
Does GIT track software defects? If so can you link elements in the
software version repository to a defect?

software version repository to a requirement? Can GIT link test
cases to both a defect and elements in the software version

I appreciate you attention to these questions. Looking forward to

If you want/need *integrated solution* covering whole Software
Configuration Life Cycle Management, there are tools that come
to my mind:
1. Gerrit[1], a web-based collaborative code review tool for Git,
which uses Git for version control. It is used by Google for
development of Android platform. Open source (Apache license).
2. Kiln[2], from Fog Creek, with integrated code review and FogBugz
integration (a web-based project management tool), which uses
Mercurial (other DVCS) for version control. IIRC proprietary.
3. There is Launchpad[3], which uses Bazaar for version control.
Used by Ubuntu. Open source (AGPLv3).
GitHub offers paid plans, and also hosted GitHub:FI; it includes
issue tracker and a kind of code review. Similar opensource solution
include Gitorious and InDefero.
