Changed description to use Redmine message link instead of external direct link.

FWIW: I don't get the problem of the OP of that forum thread. What he describes with:

> We are using the keyword "for" to mark commits that refer to a certain issue - but do not necessarily cause any change in its state.

is covered by the *referencing* keywords setting. The *fixing* keywords setting(s) expect a status (and/or done ratio) change, which seems implied by the functionality.

So, can you elaborate on this matter?

Thank you Mischa for the quick reply

The issue to me is that when leaving the *Applies Status* blank the revisions fail to be linked to the issues.

I would expect either:
* when leaving the *Applied Status* blank that revisions get linked to the denoted issues but that the issue status remains unchanged
* the *Applied Status* to be mandatory (non-empty) when saving the *Repositories settings*

with the former being my personal preference.
