Search by arbitrary metadata #567
Description
In case a bug is imported (e.g. from github), then git-bug knows that url, e.g.:
$ git show refs/bugs/016b3f0c56c1724c0230919ce3218b5cfa19f8ce:root|python3 -m json.tool
{
"version": 2,
"ops": [
{
"type": 1,
"author": {
"id": "e256bc3329691afb0ed3f7d3b9675ef8cecd1a16"
},
"timestamp": 1583555863,
"metadata": {
"github-id": "MDU6SXNzdWU1NzcyNzY4MTY=",
"github-url": "https://github.com/author/myproject/issues/6",
"origin": "github"
},
It would be nice if e.g. git bug ls could search in this metadata. So let's say I'm offline and I would like to look up https://github.com/author/myproject/issues/6, then that would be possible. Perhaps something like:
git bug ls --metadata github-url=https://github.com/author/myproject/issues/6
could list all matching bugs, typically just one.
