These seem like a good set of features, but AFAIK a lot of other IDE's,
like NetBeans and Eclipse. also have this support for not just git, but
Subversion, and maybe even CVS, too. I have no idea how they do this,
but I'm sure we could figure it out. I'm going to have my hands full for
3.10, so I probably won't be able to get to this until 3.12 at thea
earliest, at least as far as version control integration goes.

As it is, the git plugin is already pretty complicated. Besides,
wouldn't we want to have these facilities available to the Subversion
plugin as well?

Other than that, I love the idea of having Bugzilla integration with
version control.

Thanks,
