To refer to trac tickets in commit messages the basic syntax is of the form [command] [ticketreference]. A colon between the command and the ticket reference is allowed. The ticketreference also allows to list multiple ticket numbers separated by spaces and/or comma. The word 'and' is also allowed between ticket numbers. The allowed syntaxes are given below. To close a ticket from a commit message: {{{ closes #ticketno fixes #ticketno e.g. this closes #10 }}} To reference a ticket in a commit message: {{{ addresses #ticketno re #ticketno references #ticketno refs #ticketno see #ticketno e.g. this addresses #10 and #25 }}} A bare reference to a ticket (e.g. !#48) will not trigger a ticket update on trac.
