It would be quite useful to be able to replicate ticket information from Trac in Perforce's builtin jobs so that developers can use the standard p4 command line tools to:
- update ticket information (p4 jobs)
- associate changes with tickets (p4 fix)
- query whether the fix for a ticket is present on a specified branch (p4 fixes)
Perforce already supports altering the status of a job when an associated change is submitted. Hooking into this would reduce the need for developers to remember to enter information in two different systems (Trac and Perforce).
