One Repository Commit Can Update Tickets From Multiple Trac Sites

Description

This plugin allows you to update tickets on multiple Trac sites from a single commit comment in a repository.

We have multiple repositories and multiple Trac sites. For example, consider the commit:

Updated the foo to fix the bar.

Closes #71
See #42 as well

Our problem was that ticket 71 existed in TracSiteA, and ticket 42 existed in TracSiteB. On TracSiteA, the comment would be added to ticket 71 and 42, but ticket 42 on TracSiteA had nothing to do with the issue. Similarly on TracSiteB, the comment would be added to ticket 42, with an unknown link to the non-existent ticket 71 on that site.

This patch enables our users to commit as follows:

Updated the foo to fix the bar.

Closes #71@TracSiteA
See #42@TracSiteB as well

The comments only get added to TracSiteA ticket 71 and TracSiteB ticket 42.

This patch also converts the comments so that the links take the user to the correct place. For example, the source of the comment on ticket 71 of TracSiteA would appear as follows:

Updated the foo to fix the bar.

Closes #71@TracSiteA
See [[http://mytracsite.com/TracSiteB/ticket/42|#42@TracSiteB]] as well

...and the source of the comment on ticket 42 of TracSiteB would appear as follows:

Updated the foo to fix the bar.

Closes [[http://mytracsite.com/TracSiteA/ticket/71|#71@TracSiteA]]
See #42@TracSiteB as well

This way links created in the comment don't take our users to confusing places.
