I'm no guru in any of SVN, Git or Fossil:  A (hopefully short) script blessed 
by the masters would be a massive help.

As for Wiki export, I'd guess doing it by crawling and scraping the Trac pages 
followed by an HTML import into Fossil may be easiest, though a separate pass 
may be needed to capture unlinked pages.

And I have no clue how best to move Trac bug lists over.  Ugh.  I'm guessing 
there are deep configuration issues to be considered to lower the impedance 
mismatch between Fossil and Trac, in order to simplify the subsequent 
conversion or export/import.  At worst, doing screen-scrapes to capture Trac 
bugs as wiki pages, then create new Fossil bugs containing the title and a link 
to the wiki, after which bugs that "matter" can be hand-converted when/if/as 
they get updated.  But that's a pretty bad "worst" case.

At least as far as version control is concerned, TRAC is a front end to SVN. 
you might have to import the exported SVN repository to Git, then re-export 
from Git then import to Fossil.

I don't not know how TRAC issue tracking and wiki pages can be exported. But 
then you'd still have to translate TRAC's wiki markup to Fossil's or a markup 
supported by a client side wiki renderer.
