It may take a bit of customization and tweaking (ie installing some plugins) before it does everything you want, but its worth it, IMHO. You mentioned most of the things that make Trac nice, so I'll just add one of the biggies for me: they have a post-commit hook you can use with your subversion repo to update ticket status with an svn commit log message, like this: svn ci -m "did blah, closes #2" Log messages can also use wiki markup to refer to other changesets, tickets, wiki pages, etc, and when you look at the log messages in the timeline or browser they are interpreted correctly (ie as wiki-links). A potential drawback is that the subversion repo must be on a filesystem accessable to the web server hosting Trac (note it *can* be NFS mounted as long as the fsfs svn backend is used). I don't know if that's really an issue with the current infrastructure layout, but even if people aren't comfortable with the master repo server also having a web-server, the latest subversion (1.4) has a sync feature that could be used to keep a copy of the master repo on the Trac/web-server box.
