I have never used the trac/mercurial-combination, just trac/svn. With it
watching a branch is simple - see for example:

I am guessing, you actually want to watch a subtree (e.g. a module) across all
branches. I dont think this is commonly supported with any DSCM, because
branches are really a lot more independant (as they are with svn). However, it
should for example be possible to have a mercurial repo that merges all open cws
(ignoring merge conflicts) on a regular basis. That repo wouldnt compile and the
source in it would barely be useful, but the metadata (which files are currently
worked upon in open cws) would be there.

Thats actually already possible with the web-UI that is integrated in mercurial
(hg serve).

Caveat emptor: I dont really know how well trac works with hg - I only used it
with svn and in that combination, it did a nice job.

Have Fun,
