Integrated? Not really, unless we already have a clear winner in the marketplace that we can just ship in contrib/ or something, and even then, the Git ecosystem is now rich enough and the userbase strong enough that having something in contrib/ adds much less value than additional burden of having to keep up with the upstream, and user confusion coming from possible version skew from the upstream. It used to make a lot of sense to ship Git with things like gitweb and gitk when we were trying to gain momentum, but it is no longer 2005 ;-). Even kernel.org does not run gitweb anymore. This is a tangent, but I personally do not think "ticket" meshes very well with "commit". If you already know which commit was problematic, why are you annotating it with a ticket before reverting it first?
