We have gone a little ways down this path of allowing constrained operations against the underlying subversion repository, primarily for copying/tagging things so far, although we also like the idea of supporting the simple edit via the web browser as well.
That's worked out fairly well, although what we have done is probably a little too tied to our specific use case to release as a plugin. We'd be open to helping on a generic plugin though. One thing that we ended up doing as part of getting this working is to use svnmucc under the covers because we're often wanting to do multiple copies in a single commit and svnmucc allows us to accomplish that. We generate the input file that svnmucc will read from within Trac and then run svnmucc via a subprocess call.
