Comment 5 for bug 65007

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/487900 contains an easy to see example of how this could be improved:

Martin Pitt, arguably one of the most prolific people on launchpad, had to manually enter a "trunk r1693" bread crumb in comment 9 if he wants any kind of back tracking to know which commit actually applied to that bug. Multiply the time he spends doing that across the number of commits he makes, and it adds up to meaningful time, not to mention, massive opportunity for typos. Instead, when the branch is first linked, the commit number could have been added for him automatically.

Even better, it would be helpful if the commit number was placed in the "Related branches" section so that people would not have to wade through who knows how many pages of comments to find someplace where the developer might or might not have left a bread crumb. Better still, where ever it is listed, a clickable link to the actual commit would save people further time. This would bring launchpad closer to having the same ease of use for change management tracking that trac has.

This would also greatly help with the fact that most developers aren't as nice as Martin, and actually don't leave bread crumbs with commit numbers, so anyone trying to code review, audit, or otherwise view the change that applies to that ticket must waste their time trying to figure out which commit number contained the actual change.
