Is there a bug/issue tracking system which integrates with Mercurial?

I've used Trac/Subversion before and really like the integration. My current project is using Mercurial for distributed development and it'd be nice to be able to track issues/bugs and have this be integrated with Mercurial. I realized this could be tricky with the nature of DVCS.

From stackoverflow
  • TracMercurial integrates Trac with Mercurial. Assembla provides free Mercurial hosting with Trac integration.

    The idea is that you have a central repository as your master and upload all the subsidiary changes from local repositories into the main one.

  • Fogbugz, here is the page to config Fogbugz and Mercurial

    tghw : Kiln (http://kilnhg.com/) provides even tighter integration between FogBugz and Mercurial
  • There is also a plugin to integrate Mercurial with Jira. See the webpage for the plugin.

  • I'd also like to add Redmine to the list. I started with Trac, but I found the mercurial support (and the administrative interface for everything) to be much better in Redmine.

    Matthew Schinckel : And Redmine is way better if you are running multiple projects.
  • BugTracker.NET now supports Mercurial integration in the same way it supports Subversion and git. BugTracker.NET is a free, open source, ASP.NET bug tracking system.

    Other free, open source bug trackers that support Mercurial:

  • Bugs Everywhere is a distributed bugtracking system that supports Mercurial.

    dimo414 : This looks promising, but very experimental. Do you know of any kind of tutorial for installing, setting up, and using? The website seems pretty limited and/or broken at the moment.
  • If you're open to another suggestion, you can try [Artemis].[1]

    Though I haven't used it yet, it looks easy enough.

  • There's a BugzillaExtension for adding a comment to a Bugzilla bug each time you mention its number.

  • Mantis has a beta integration for Mercurial: blog-post and code (currently offline).

  • Jira integrates using a plugin. Its a great tool.

  • I just put together a command-line bug tracker called b for Mercurial which, although it's not as powerful as Trac and the like, is exactly what a lot of situations call for. It's best feature is how easy it is to set up - install the Mercurial extension, and all your repos have a bug tracker at their disposal. I find this incredibly useful on smaller projects that I can't/don't want to set up with a fully fledged tracker living on a server somewhere, just hg b and go.

  • I recently developed a Trac plugin that integrates some Mercurial functionality that TracMercurial Plugin doesn't support yet, it's called TracMercurialChangesetPlugin. It allows you to search in your changesets, to have the cache synced, to view a changelog in your related tickets...
