So far I've just merged tickets, and made some depend on others. Can a RefersTo store an arbitrary text string like path/under/repo at 123? For those who don't know, @123 is subversion's "pin revision syntax."

Yes. RT lets you plug in arbitrary URI schemes. So we added a svn one.

So. this code adds a link from the ticket to the commit when the commit includes a [ticket #2313] in the commit message. It also lets you update the ticket from the commit message with certain key:value pairs and adds commit messages to ticket history.

I'm a big fan of the loose coupling "webhook" style provoked poll of RT-Integration-SVN, but really whatever works for you works ;)
