Attaching source files to external issues

You can attach source files to issues in the issue tracking tool you have integrated with Surround SCM. The file information is attached to the issue, making it easy to work with the file from Surround SCM or the issue tracking tool.

You can attach source files to issues from the source file list and when you add files, check in files, promote or rebase files and branches, or view file history. You can also attach changelists and files in changelists to issues.
