I use Trac for a project and you can't use XML-RPC nor can you use git with it. Tickets have been filed for this and left sitting for 2 years on these topics with lots of comments about it getting fixed, but nothing happening. So if you want to use Trac on SF, think about what kind of access you want to it. I like to use Mylyn in Eclipse and with XML-RPC off, it's very limited. However if you do choose to use SF and Trac, I have scripts that will do automated backups if you'd like. I don't know what the mercurial support is like, but if it's not considered a core service at SF, you're not going to get much support. > SF cons: > I don't really like SF's native bug tracker and forums.

Can you explain more on what you're looking for here? Is this for testing or???
