Redmine

5. The most important part is that commits are going into development branch, not master

I have the same issue, using 2.3.3.stable via BitNami and mercurial, default branch.
I see commits at issue, but spent time is not logged.

I have fixed it thanks to Toshi, which mentioned, that the user of SCM (hg or git) has to have the permission to log time (I had different user name in hg than in redmine).

Does user have a permission to log time?

1. Same email in git as in Redmine
2. Admin -> Settings -> Repositories -> 'Enable time logging' is on
3. Admin -> Settings -> Repositories -> 'Activity for logged time' is 'Development' and 'Development' is enabled activity in the project
4. Git repository is refreshed using post_update hook
5. Commits going to branch other than master

Beyond that:

1. User (me) does have permission to log time in project
2. Repository user mapping (Project > Settings > Repository > Users, aka "committers" page) is correct

I'm running Redmine version 2.3.3.devel, Ruby 1.9.3-p194, Rails 3.2.13, git 1.8.3.2, PostgreSQL. No plugins.

As with Aleksandr Guidrevitch, the commits show up as "Associated Revisions", but no time is logged.

If more information (configuration, logs are needed) I can post them. Thanks!

Sorry for resurrecting and old ticket, but this seems to be the most relevant one to my question, and it is still open.

Is there a way to get time logging via SCM for a branch that isn't master? Or to be able to specify which branch should be the main branch and have the logging be applicable in that one. We have some repositories that we track upstream on master and have our own branch for our setup.

Thanks!
