I've seen projects outlive multiple issue-tracking systems.

Nothing inherently wrong with having the number in the branch or commit-message, but please make sure the rest of the name/message stands on its own.

If you are lucky you can import old issues with the same IDs. If not then

This is why I generally prefer using the full issue URL in comments, but that is unwieldy for branch names.

Sure, but sometimes the old issues and the old server just gets lost in the transition. I'm not sure full URLs really help because it's unlikely to have both issue trackers continuing to run. I think the parent's point to add some detail is valuable.

Not everything needs to be future proof, being useful right in the moment is good enough.
