Re: PATCH: new extension point for issue tracking integration

One thing we like about the svn property
approach is that it is shared between developers and that our CM administrator
can control this on the subversion end  so all developers are forced
to enter isue ids in their commits to those projects requiring it in the
eye of the CM team.

I am not sure if a common commit dialog would be of that great of 
benefit.  I suppose it would depend on how many cool additions it
could 
have.  Such as issue tracking integration, and maybe integrated compare
view?  But as an example, there are some bits of essential SVN-specific
info we show for the files that I would not want to give up.  That
means 
we have to supply that piece of the UI, at which point what is the 
common dialog still providing us?

Main benefits would be if the extension points could provide instant 
integration.

I assume if we integrate with a Mylar extension point we would not need
any SVN properties.  It would just recognize and use the Mylar config.
