You should consider using tags in conjunction with your bugs/tickets 
system.  The fork point for a bug fix may be tagged, as well as the last 
commit representing the bugfix completion (not the merge point though).  
This way you can always retrieve the exact set of commits forming up 
that bugfix, regardless if it was merged back into the main branch with 
a fast forward or not.
