Re: Adding relationships: can be done in a fast way?

So you'll eventually have every existing file registered in its own issue,
related with any modification task on it during its life?

Too verbose, and a real pain for the users. I don't think it'll scale.

Why don't you use a text box to report involved files (one by line)?
We've been doing some customization of that kind for some of our clients, so
the repository (Subversion, CVS, FileSystem, whatever...) is tied to Scarab,
including validation (make sure what you're filling in are really existing
files), and reporting (what tasks have been done on each file?)
