Ditz is a simple, light-weight distributed issue tracker designed to work with distributed version control systems like git, darcs, Mercurial, and Bazaar. It can also be used with centralized systems like SVN.
Ditz features a simple, clean commandline interface, a robust plugin architecture which allows for adding commands and extending model fields and ditz output, a human-editable file format, and an active developer community.
Ditz also provides static HTML generation capabilities for producing world-readable status pages (for a demo, see the ditz ditz page). It currently offers no central public method of bug submission.
