Best way to link Redmine issue to SVN revision

Q

We are using Redmine for issue and bug tracking. We added SVN integration but, by doing this, it just shows SVN revisions in activity. It would be great to see all SVN changes caused by a bug or issue. But it does not seem to be possible.Is there a way to do that? If not Redmine, which is the best alternative tracking system to achieve this?

We add the issue number in svn commit message and it’s recognized automatically.

Sometimes a hard disk is hinting on an upcoming failure. Some disks start to make unexpected sounds, others are silent and only cause some noise in your syslog. In most cases the disk will automatically reallocate one or two damaged sectors and you should start planning on buying a new disk while your data is safe. However, sometimes the disk won’t automatically reallocate these sectors and you’ll have to do that manually yourself. Luckily, this doesn’t include any rocket science.
