Hmm. I'd suggest the following fields:
Present-In-Version:
Fixed-In-Version:
Each of which contains a *list* of versions.
Normally this will be only one version each, but in complicated
situations, it may be more. In particular, these lists should be
versions where the bug is *known* to be present, by actual testing, or
*known* to be absent, by actual testing. If people are doing a binary
search for which version a bug was introduced in, they can add versions
to the lists as they go. :-)
>From this we can compute Presumed-Present-In lists (everything from a
Present-In version until the next Fixed-In version, and perhaps
everything before the first Present-In version) and Presumed-Absent-In
lists (everything else).
And it's clear this way which versions were actually tested and which are
just assumed.
How's that? :-)
