This is something I threw together that I've been finding pretty useful in the last couple days, and I figure other people might be interested in trying out. It's a tool to treat an "issues/" directory on the filesystem as an issue tracker, which can be tracked via git (or any other source control) and viewed/edited from the command line with the "bug" tool.

I've been using it as a lightweight "What do I have left to do on this branch?" tool that fits into my workflow without having to go to an external service (ie. Redmine) or leave the terminal. The fact that it's context sensitive (it just looks for the nearest issues/ directory) means I can just do a "bug list" to get an instant list of outstanding tasks in whatever I happen to be working on whenever I switch branches or get interupted and need to remember where I was.

(I wanted to call it "context-sensitive," which is more accurate, in the title, but HN said the title was too long, so it became "distributed," since anything in git is "distributed".)
