Very cool.

However, I wonder if the patches to the Trac source are necessary.  IIUC
the plan is to have a "namespace package" called "tracvc" that version
control plugins will install under and they will be automatically
enabled.  I'm not sure what the status is in the trunk for this, so
maybe the patches will be necessary until some further refactoring of
the version control layer is done.

Cboos, can you comment on that?

Does that mean you're storing a full copy of each version of each file
accessed?  It seems like that would start taking up a lot of disk space.
