To get a tighter integration with issue trackers than by simply
using the bugtraq: properties, TortoiseSVN can make use of COM
plugins. With such plugins it is possible to fetch information
directly from the issue tracker, interact with the user and provide
information back to TortoiseSVN about open issues, verify log
messages entered by the user and even run actions after a successful
commit to e.g, close an issue.
We can't provide information and tutorials on how you have
to implement a COM object in your preferred programming language, but
we have example plugins in C++/ATL and C# in our repository in
the contrib/issue-tracker-plugins folder.
In that folder you can also find the required include files you
need to build your plugin.
(Section 3, “License” explains how to access the repository.)

You should provide both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of your
plugin. Because the x64-Version of TortoiseSVN can not use a 32-bit
plugin and vice-versa.

If you release an issue tracker plugin for TortoiseSVN, please do
not name it Tortoise<Something>.
We'd like to reserve the Tortoise prefix for a version control
client integrated into the windows shell. For example: TortoiseCVS, TortoiseSVN,
TortoiseHg, TortoiseGit and TortoiseBzr are all version control clients.
Please name your plugin for a Tortoise client Turtle<Something>,
where <Something> refers to the issue tracker that you are connecting to.
Alternatively choose a name that sounds like Turtle but has
a different first letter. Nice examples are:
Gurtle - An issue tracker plugin for Google code
TurtleMine - An issue tracker plugin for Redmine
VurtleOne - An issue tracker plugin for VersionOne
