Bugs Everywhere
===============
This is Bugs Everywhere, a bugtracker built on distributed revision
control.  It works with Arch, Bazaar, Darcs, Git, and Mercurial at the
moment, but is easily extensible.  It can also function with no RCS at
all.

The idea is to package the bug information with the source code, so that
bugs can be marked 'fixed' in the branches that fix them.  So, instead of
numbers, bugs have globally unique ids.


Getting started
===============
To get started, you must set the bugtracker root.  Typically, you will want to
set the bug root to your project root, so that Bugs Everywhere works in any
part of your project tree.
$ be init -r $PROJECT_ROOT

To create bugs, use "be new $DESCRIPTION".  To comment on bugs, you
can can use "be comment $BUG_ID".  To close a bug, use "be close
$BUG_ID" or "be status $BUG_ID fixed".  For more commands, see "be
help".  You can also look at the usage examples in test_usage.sh.
