Can Redmine monitor trunk and branches for commits?

My project has trunk and then two branches, a release and release prep. New features land on the trunk, but when there is a bug that needs a hotfix, I fix it on the release branch, commit it and release from that branch. However, I do not get the automatic closing and integration with the ticket because redmine is only monitoring the trunk.

Is there a way for redmine to monitor the trunk and branches of an SVN repository for commits?

All my searches didn't turn up any info about configuring redmine for this.

Hi, maybe you should consider modifying the repository link for your project (in the project settings).

From what I understand it may be like :

svn://yourserver.com/therepository/TRUNK

and you need to change it to :

svn://yourserver.com/therepository

One more thing, I fix it on the release branch sounds very odd with a configuration management point of view.

Can I ask why is this odd? I thought that bugfixing in the stable branch is a very common way of working.

Hi Davide,
you're right fixing bugs on a stable (but moving) Branch is common.

As far as my reading is fine you were talking about fixing bug on a release branch :

From my point of view branching is done for features and bug fixes, tags are for releasing and a release is not meant to ... move.

Thomas Eccard Thanks, that was such an obvious solution, that I completely overlooked it. Now, the repository settings are not editable and my only option is to delete. With I lose all my current associations between issues and revisions?

Hi Jason,
I don't know if you will lose anything. I don't know if relations are made based on the SVN revision (should work) or on another ID computed when the repository is parsed (should not work).

If your data are important it's maybe worth a try with sort of a sandbox (or the developement database if any).

I will not lose the associations but you should make a dump first.
When you add the repo again it will take some time to review all commit messages and relink the associations.

Alexandre Da Costa Thanks, it worked as you stated. I was able to drop my repository from redmine project and then add it back. All issue to revision associations showed back up.
