Unfuddle SVN Power Commands

Came across this digging into unfuddle tonight.

http://unfuddle.com/docs/topics/powerful_commit_messages

I've always known about #40 creating a change set.  I found tonight that entering a checkin comment of:

resolves #40 Fixed spacing on the email line.

Will resolve ticket number 40 it and document it more fully in one step.  No more going to the website and filling it out twice.

There are assign commands a couple others.

resolve #26
assign #25 & #26 to alex

Will resolve one tickets and assign both of them to alex.  Nice trick if you’ven’t seen it.

Awesome! Yeah, those unfuddle guys slip a few good things out every once in a while without too much press. They should capitalize a bit on the upgrades and annoucements of these things that makes Unfuddle stand out amongst other source repository vendors (*couch* Github).

I've known about linking checkins to tickets for a long while by entering the ticket number prefixed with a hash, like #734.  and you showed an example of linking checkins to tickets above.  I find this to be a great idea in tracking down what was effected by a checkin.

Problem is, people tend to check in in batches that cover several tickets - if they even remember to enter a ticket number at all in the comments.
