Hi,
Is it possible to link remote SVN repository to Trac hosted at OSGeo?
Best regards,

Trac talks directly to a repository on disk. what might be possibl (but
isn't done at the moment) is to use svnsync to maintain a copy of the
remote svn locally, and then have trac talk to that -- I believe it
produces an essentially identical SVN copy ,and thus trac could talk to
it (albeit delayed by some amount of sync time).
(This is a comment on technical feasability.)

Thanks Chris for the explanation.

Yes, we could svnsync but it brings a bunch of extra complexity. svnsync is very sensitive to server version, and we're running one of the very first svn versions that supported it. There's a ticket about upgrading us to svn 1.5, which wouldn't be a bad idea if someone had the time to implement it. That would eliminate the version sensitivity as well.
At one time it was discussed in Trac development for it to work with remote repositories, but I don't know if that is going to come to fruition.

I see.

I'm rather not experienced enough to do it, so I'd not offer myself.

Right.
