Your users who reported the bug don't have git log and cannot know when 
the bug fix will appear. Adding the information will fill in the Version 
fixed-in field in the bug report so that your user sees when the bug 
will be fixed.

Consider the situation when master is opened again and 4.9 not yet 
released. A user would not understand that the bug will not be fixed 
before 4.10 unless you state so.

For us it's not such a useful information, but for the user it's a very 
valuable information which we can and should easily provide.

Furthermore you can use the ChangelogGenerator to generate the 
changelog based on the version fixed-in field. The git log is unsuited 
for changelogs as it is too technical.

Cheers
Martin
