The catch is that we don't want to move off of what it's in Debian, from what I remember. These are obviously slightly dated versions of Trac.
Being the author of the original git plugin[1], I feel the need to make a few comments: - The git-plugin version available in lenny is rather ancient and dates back to 2008 - wheezy's git-plugin is basically HEAD of [2], which dates back to 2011 - wheezy ships with Trac 0.12.3 (as wheezy decided to ship the current 0.12.x LTS branch of Trac) - The 0.12.x version of the trac git plugin is not actively maintained anymore (by me) and I don't know of anyone else who has taken over active maintainance - However, the git plugin was merged upstream into Trac project some time ago, and is now part of Trac 1.0 and later. This also means the git backend is being actively maintained and improved by the Trac HQ[3][4]. Moreover, it's even show-cased on trac.edgewall.org [5]. - Therefore, I'd recommend using Trac 1.0.x even though that version is not the one in wheezy (but I expect it to hit wheezy-backports sooner or later as it's already in experimental[6]).
Of course that's a ridiculous understatement because the *real* problem IMO is that haskell.org is still running Debian 5 (Lenny.) We're beyond obsolete.
