Is there a way to link every HG commit to a specific bug tracking issue?
For example, show a drop down when committing from TortoiseHg with all active JIRA issues assigned to the current user (similar to the TortoiseSVN Plugin for JIRA). Maybe a drop down is too fancy, but is there something similar to the TortoiseSVN Integration with Bug Tracking Systems / Issue Trackers available at least, i.e. a text box in the top right of the commit window where you can enter the issue number? Can't seem to find anything similar in THG.
I found some promising configurations in the TortoiseHg manual but find them very primitive... Ideas/thoughts/workarounds?
The answer is no -- TortoiseHg does not support the features you ask for. The feature has already been entered into TortoiseHg's bug tracker, so I suggest you sign up at Bitbucket and "follow" the issue there.
