[Laszlo-dev] JIRA policy for fixes going into multiple branches

[P T Withington]

That is what I have been doing, pasting the log from the check-in  
into a comment when I fix a bug.  Doing it for each branch.  I think  
that is ok, but we also need to clear up the ambiguity of 'Fix  
version/s' -- we are using it both to say which version we want the  
fix to be done for, and to say that it has been fixed in that  
version.  The only way to distinguish is whether the bug is closed or  
not.  Is everyone ok with that?

Is there a way we can munge Jira to accept arbitrary text in the  
'Fixed in change#' field?
