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
