link_issue: Linking issues in commit messages
In mbojan/trac2gh: Assisting Migrating Code and Tickets from Trac to GitHub

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Trac ticket IDs are often referenced in git commit messages as e.g. #123. Assuming that tickets have been converted to issues and pushed to GitHub this function can be used in a script with git filter-branch to rewrite commit messages and replacing ticket references with issue references.

1	link_issue(ticket_id, db)

`ticket_id`	character string of the form `#123`
`db`	data frame mapping tickets to issues, see Details

The data frame must contain columns trac_ticket_id and gh_issue_number containing Trac ticket ID and corresponding GH issue number.

If the ticket_id number is found in db it is replaced with a string #XXX where XXX is the corresponding issue number. Original Trac ticket ID is also displayed in square brackets. If ticket_id is not found in db, the original reference is replaced with trac ticket info in square brackets.

String with ticket reference replaced with GH reference (if found in db).
