Add CommitTicketUpdater Trac plugin

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Can we add this Trac plugin, which would allow tickets to be automatically closed by writing certain keywords in a commit message?

This was brought up on the mailing list: ​https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2013-December/025536.html

I see just now that in Trac Admin I have the ability to install a plugin by uploading a file. Is it appropriate for me to try to do that, or are there reasons why I should leave installing Trac plugins to the administrators?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Actually I see it's distributed with Trac, so it should already be installed, just not enabled. The instructions say it can be enabled either:

1. Through the Admin interface (admin/general/plugin), enable: tracopt.ticket.commit_updater.* modules
   1. CommitTicketUpdater (tracopt.ticket.commit_updater.*)

I don't see an option to do this there, so we may need the second method:

2. alternativally editing trac.ini file, add the following line at the [components] section:

   tracopt.ticket.commit_updater.committicketreferencemacro = enabled
   tracopt.ticket.commit_updater.committicketupdater = enabled

Is editing this trac.ini file something that could be done simply? Would it accomplish the goal? Are there other steps we should try?
