Translating Bug Links Between Repositories

Written for bug-repo-syncer by Eike on 2012-03-24

Text of the form "bug #123" is translated to links between bugs in the web front ends of Launchpad and Trac. An algorithm to translate those bug IDs in the bug description has just been finished. It is astonishingly complicated to get this seemingly simple task to work right, in common edge cases.

The algorithm seems to work, improved tests are necessary however.

The program became a little bit convoluted, but not too much fortunately.
A beta release with the new feature will be created soon.
