Hi,

there exist a contrib
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-git-link.html
which allows you to link to specific versions of a file under git control.
Thus, you can describe a error/feature/behavior in a file and make sure the
description remains valid even if you change the file in the mean time.
E.g. you can document your bug fixing with ¨before¨ and ¨after¨ links.

I believe that this is a very important feature if you work with git and org

Greetings

Torsten
