Originally created by @steveschow on GitHub (Aug 12, 2019).

I really like gitea and am considering to switchover from fossil for my SCM. One thing that fossil does that still keeps me there is that when I commit file changes, I can include the id# of an "issue" and fossil creates internal links between the issue and that commit. More than one commit can be linked to an issue. Then when looking at an issue, there is one click to see a list of all commits that have been done related to it, and because it displays a timeline also I can quickly diff between the first and the last commit to see essentially all the file changes related to that issue#.

Fossil could do it better, it still requires some poking around, but gitea can't really do it at all. I would really like to be able to associate a group of commits to a single issue# and then later on I can refer to that issue and see exactly what files were changed for it.

how long ago was the pull request given? If it hasn't been merged in by now there must be some reason its not quite what they want. Anyway, here's a request for SOMETHING like that. That pull request looks like it added a lot of different things, I would have to install it and try it out to find out if it even does what I'm asking for.
