R – Are there any other bug/issue trackers than TFS itself that integrates with TFS SCM

bug-trackingsvntfsversion control

We currently use BugZilla for bug/issue tracking, but are looking for other solutions which hopefully fits us better.

One of the features we really would like is integration with both SVN and TFS, as we use both internally (java folks use SVN, .NET folks use TFS), but I have yet to find any who does both. Many do integrate with SVN, but I haven't found any but TFS itself that integrates with TFS SCM. Are there any other at all?

EDIT: Thanks to both Martin and gregmac for your responses. I'll take this information with me in our further investigation in what to do.

(If I could, I would set both your answers as THE answer to my question, but gave that one to gregmac for having a little less rep than Martin and that SvnBridge might let us keep TFS source control 😉

Best Answer

You could try SvnBridge,which makes your TFS server look like an SVN server. This would allow you to have Bugzilla or whatever point to multiple SVN servers - or if it doesn't support that, you could set the TFS svn repository up as an svn:external.

The otherside, I'd agree with Martin and say if you're looking to integrate everything together, then you should probably just integrate your repository as well, and get the .NET to use svn (since SVN is more portable than TFS). I'd highly recommend VisualSVN for this - it integrates very well with VisualStudio.

There is of course going to be a learning curve, because SVN / VisualSVN will be different from TFS.. but if you can overcome that, and having shared bug tracking across the company is a big enough win, you should come out ahead.
