Description

I found a need to have multiple forms of auto-updates for issues through repository commits. This patch changes the wording from 'commit_fix' to 'commit_update' to represent the fact that not all repository commits are 'fixes'. In addition, there are now 5 slots for auto-updates through repository commits.

One example of usage is that in my projects, repository commit messages can automatically move an issue through the following an advanced flow if the commit message contains the following keywords:

branches   --> move to 'In Progress'   used to indicate that work has started on an issue
implements --> move to 'Implemented'   used to indicate that an issue has been implemented
integrates --> move to 'Integrated'    used to indicate that an issue has been integrated back into an integration branch to await a future release
releases   --> move to 'Released'      used to indicate that an issue has made it into a release that has passed acceptance test
verifies   --> move to 'Closed'        used for internal verification before a release is given to a receiver

Having a large number of slots for commit message auto-updates has drastically reduced the burden on software engineers when it comes to using a defect tracking system, while still allowing a useful number of issue states from a management and lead perspective.

should have read:

branches   --> move to 'In Progress'   used to indicate that work has started on an issue
implements --> move to 'Implemented'   used to indicate that an issue has been implemented
integrates --> move to 'Integrated'    used to indicate that an issue has been integrated back into an integration branch to await a future release
releases   --> move to 'Released'      used to indicate that an issue has made it into a release that has passed acceptance test

Excellent; thank you! Tested with 1.1.1; seems to work perfectly.

That is very useful, I would like to see it in redmine by default. I would suggest something like done10 #7445 to set progress 10%, done20 and so on, should be implemented by default and set 'Assigned'

Static strings are never a good solution at least in terms of localization.

A more general implementation would be to update the tickets in similar way as doing via email, mean you have to reference a ticket id and use the standard email update syntax on that.
eh.
status: In Progress

To have a better integration someone could define alias words for status in in the main workflow configuration, e.g

Status => Alias
In Progress => branches, working
Implemented => implements, coded
Released => releases
verifies => Closed

This way several alias for the status definition can be used in emails and commit messages to update tickets.

Which is why Redmine allows you to have multiple trigger words. For example, for French (not sure about translation accuracy) and English users:
verify, vérifier => Closed

I've just downloaded

cd to redmine dir
and download commit-update-1.4-stable.patch

then i run this command: patch -p0 < commit-update-1.4-stable.patch

I got lots of errors. What did i do wrong?
