I agree with Pedro that the change history belongs into the RCS, especially in a code base as ours where some source files have had many hundreds of changes over their history of about twenty years.

Of course an issue reference is valuable when the comment helps to understand what the code does and why it does it. Anything else is distracting.

not familiar with the tool svn, especially,meets regression issue related

Please avoid comments like
//begin fix for ixxxxxx
...
//end of fix

Such comments are useless and if someone does care that type of
information is registered by the version control system (SVN) anyways.
