How do you get Eclipse/Mylyn to fill out your commit messages for you?

I've setup the following:

  • Installed Mylyn in Eclipse
  • Installed the Bugzilla connector
  • Installed Subversive SVN Integration for the Mylyn Project
  • I've gone to Windows -> Preferences -> Tasks -> Team and clicked Change Set Management and left it with the default Commit Comment Template:
    ${task.status} - ${connector.task.prefix} ${task.key}: ${task.description} ${task.url}

However, if I activate a bugzilla bug in the Task List, and then edit a file, when I commit the changes the commit message isn't filled in.

Also, in the Synchronisation perspective there isn't a change set for the task I'm working on.

I've tried following the instructions on the Eclipse wiki's Mylyn FAQ for Why does task change set not appear when I modify files? but the bullet point: * Verify that the configured Synchronize View is configured for change sets. points to a section that is no longer in the document.

I have a Show Change Sets button, but clicking it only shows me incoming change sets, there aren't any outgoing change sets.

What am I missing?
