"Commiting" bug information in the tree is only half of a good idea. You want to be able to say, after the fact, "This commit had bug XYZ". OTOH, the idea (followed by bugs everywhere) that merging a branch would automatically close bugs fixed by this branch is a really cool thing. The kind of information you're mentionning above can be a great starting point for "bisect". I can even imagine a kind of distributed bisect, where several users could give their "bad commits" for the same bug. -- Matthieu
