Just store the commit which introduced the bug (or where the bug was first found) and you will get that, too. You only have to check if this commit is reachable by a given branch to see if it is affected. When you fix the bug you store the commit id that fixed it and then you can check every branch if it points into bad..good.

You can also do this for released versions. If you have the bug database inside the repository you can't report any bugs for a released version, because it is, well already released.
