ditz version 0.4 has been released!

Ditz is a simple, light-weight distributed issue tracker designed to work with
distributed version control systems like git, darcs, Mercurial, and Bazaar. It
can also be used with centralized systems like SVN.

Ditz maintains an issue database directory on disk, with files written in a
line-based and human-editable format. This directory can be kept under version
control, alongside project code.

There are different ways to use ditz:

1. Treat issue change the same as code change: include it as part of commits,
and merge it with changes from other developers. (Resolving conflicts in
the usual manner.)
2. Keep the issue database in the repository but in a separate branch. Issue
changes can be managed by your VCS, but is not tied directly to commits.
3. Keep the issue database separate and not under VCS at all.

Your particular usage will depend on what you want to get out of ditz.

Ditz provides a simple, console-based interface for creating and updating the
issue database file, and some rudimentary HTML generation capabilities for
producing world-readable status pages. It currently offers no central public
method of bug submission.
