    I am a ClearCase administrator and one of the things that I love 
about it is the ability to assign attributes to versions of files. Is 
there anybody thinking of adding the ability to assign attributes to a 
commit? I ask because I was thinking about how I would move from 
ClearCase to git and part of our process is to assign the BugNum 
attribute to every checkin so that we can see what bugs have been fixed. 
We also track the files checked in the bug tracking software to. Thus 
giving us a two way linkage between repository and the bug tracking 
system. This is VERY useful. And I was wondering if there are any 
thought to this for commits.

Now, I will be honest it is possible that this has already been done (I have not read all the documentation yet) and I am justing wasting bandwidth. In which, please excuse my ignorance and tell me to just RTFM.
