I like that.

Further question on details - I can see any bug filed against (for 
example) a specific git commit is eventually fixed by a released 
version.  Do you consider it really filed against that version, or just 
fixed in that version, which didn't actually exist at the time, and no 
longer (hopefully) exhibits the bug) or against the previously released 
version (where it might not exist if it was introduced by a later 
commit.?  There is a field for "fixed in" so I don't see any reason to 
change the "filed against" version.  Am I missing something?
