This reminds of me of someone telling me he didn't have any KDE application installed on his system as a matter of policy, or someone on Freenode's #scheme saying that he didn't have perl installed on his Gentoo system (which may make it a non-standard Linux because /usr/bin/perl is part of the Linux Standard Base). If you are so worried about that, you can keep svn under a --prefix that's not in the default path by default, and activate it in certain configurations. It's not as if svn is a piece of malware that does harm to your system by default. > >> 3. transfer of all/just the open tickets > > I believe that'll be a manual work > No need for that, see: http://develop.github.com/p/issues.html .

There are some software hubs, whose backends are available for downloads as open-source software, and some dedicated installable software that aims to be similar to Trac such as http://www.redmine.org/ .
