Scmbug looks at the problem from the other direction: it offers
intergation of any version control system with any bug-tracking system.
The difference is that if some criteria are not met, a version control
commit operation is rejected and no information is published in the
bug-tracking system.

In my understanding, the VCS extension displays anything published in
the version control system without means of controlling what is accepted
in the version control system.

I am happy to see that it is possible to view in Bugzilla version
control information. I would like to understand how this capability can
be programmed, and add, if possible, support in Scmbug to publish such
VCS information in Bugzilla.

In the past, I requested supported in Bugzilla for providing means of
general autolinkification, and perhaps the time was right back then.

Is the VCS capability driven by some data inserted in the database ?
Would it be possible then for an external tool, like Scmbug, to be
creating such data, synchronously, so that VCS autolinkification can
appear in Bugzilla ?
