> Of course when we switched to GH issues, we largely abandoned JIRA and years later the instance got turned off and deleted. Now all those JIRA tags are entirely useless.
We did Bugzilla -> FogBugz -> Jira. Almost all the data was lost every time, no one bothered with migration except for the maintenance project. Worse, even on Jira we lose cases as teams end and hand off the code, and the Jira project is closed so no one else can access it.
We've also done cvs -> svn -> git. All the commits have survived migration.
I do keep including cases in the commits messages, if nothing else it'll help link things together in the future, but never rely on them for context a future maintainer might need.
