TortoiseSVN The coolest Interface to (Sub)Version Control

Gurtle is an IBugTraqProvider plugin for TortoiseSVN, dealing with the issue tracker of Google Project Hosting (also sometimes referred to as Google Code).

Gurtle just released a new version 0.4, and this time it comes with a nice installer so you don't have to build it yourself anymore.

In case you don't know whether you need this tool, ask yourself two questions:

• Are you using TortoiseSVN?
• Are you hosting one or more projects on Google Project Hosting?

If you answered both questions with yes, then you need Gurtle! And according to some unofficial statistics, quite a few of you will.

Once you've installed Gurtle, the TortoiseSVN commit dialog will show you a button at the top right from where you can start Gurtle. A new dialog shows you then all open issues of your project from where you can select the issue your commit is referring to. This makes it much easier to write commit messages.

For help on how to configure your projects with Gurtle, please refer to the wiki page which explains this.
