Same here. I was just yesterday looking into the possibility of adding
an hg backend to Trac. It's SQL-based, but maybe routing the writes to
both hg and SQL and adding some post-pull/push hooks to the hg repo
for replaying the changes against the SQL would do the trick.

Good thing about ikiwiki is it already handles merge problems. Would
have to be added to Trac. On the other hand, Trac is very nice and
full-featured.
