We use the convention of putting the bug number as the first work on the first line of
the checkin, e.g. "3399 Add attributes for commits". The advantage over other methods
is that it is always there, without the need to further investigations of assigned attributes.

This convention has nothing to do with Git though. It works with any type of repo.
