Re: git-bug: Distributed bug tracker embedded in git

Hi,

I released today git-bug, a distributed bug tracker that embeds in
git. It use git's internal storage to store bugs information in a way
that can be merged without conflict. You can push/pull to the normal
git remote you are already using to interact with other people. Normal
code and bugs are completely separated and no files are added in the
regular branches.
I am a bit unhappy about the namespace grab.  Not for trademark
reasons: the Git trademark rules are pretty clear about this kind of
usage being okay.  Instead, the unhappiness comes because a future Git
command like "git bug" to produce a bug report with appropriate
diagnostics for a bug in Git seems like a likely and useful thing to
get added to Git some day.  And now the name's taken.

Is it too late to ask if it's possible to come up with a less generic
name?

Separately from that, I'm happy to see progress being made in the
distributed bug tracker world; thanks for that!

Thanks,
Jonathan
