Anyone looked into possibly running Trac <http://www.edgewall.com/trac/ 
<http://www.edgewall.com/trac/>> on the Freenet SVN repository for 
changeset timeline and source browsing features?

Trac's mission: "*to help developers write great software* while 
*staying out of the way*".
It's got a lot of features that Freenet already covers elsewhere, so I 
would recommend disabling them by removing access to them from the 
anonymous view (the only one needed).

The OpenTTD guys use it 
<http://svn.openttd.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/timeline> in the context I 
suggest (bug tracking by other software, for example) and the changeset 
timeline and browsing is what I find myself repeatedly wishing the 
Freenet project provided.

It has to run on the same machine as the SVN repository as it uses hooks 
to update it's indexes, though I've personally run it on a separate 
machine, periodically rsyncing the SVN repository from another machine 
and running the appropriate rebuild processes to get the same effect 
(couldn't be bothered with installing it on Mac OS X from source).
