5.7.140.4. DESCRIPTION

This script can be used to initialize Bugzilla's data about which commits are associated to particular bugs. It searches the text of commit messages in a repository for strings that look like "bug 1234" and assocates the commit with that bug in your Bugzilla.

If any given commit has already been synced to this Bugzilla, it won't be re-synced. Existing commits will not be modified.
