Just as a ... well, "data point":
At 3DICC we fairly recently took charge of this and I scanned the market
a bit looking at Trac and a few others, even tried installing Trac
(liked their idea of marrying a wiki with issue tracker) but that was a
PITA.
Then I tried Redmine - which basically is a reimplementation of similar
ideas but in Rails, and wow, that was very simple to get set up and it
does AFAICT everything you want and is quite easy to customize - just by
clicking around in the admin UIs.
It has integrated wiki blabla, and also support for SVN/git etc, and I
wouldn't be surprised if you fairly easily could do a commit hook at
least for MC. Granted the first time I saw their website I didn't think
it looked that nice, kinda boring - but if you start clicking around you
quickly realize it is neat! Also very "REST"-ful, you know with nice
URLs pointing to issues, the form for creating new issues blabla...
We are really satisfied at least. :)
