I have no problems doing this.  I'm kicking of a little side project in PHP
here shortly and have gone through some of the Trac setup again :).

Tickets, tickets, and more tickets.  My biggest complaint with OpenOCD is
how bugs are tracked.  It's great that we have a little file and this
mailing list to quasi-manage things, but it's quite nice to also have a
ticket database.  That way, we can attach tickets and enhancements to
certain milestones, aka releases, so that there can be a better management
of when a release should occur.  You also gain the positive of a wiki where
different things for development can be documented.

Another important feature has to do with hooks that look at commit messages
for ticket numbers.  These essentially can close/update tickets based on
commit messages.  When I went to look at the git plug-in for Trac, they have
the python scripts for doing the post-receive-hook which would deal with
updating tickets.

The only significant "anti-" sentiment I have is that the Trac git plug-in
hasn't had an update since 28th of August of 2009.  I'm going to play with
this a little bit with my sourceforge project that's hooked up to git and
I'll get back to you.
