Ideally Trac would use darcs as its backend, and I could run a local Trac 
against a local darcs repository of the data, and then push my changes when 
I'm online.

Unfortunately, Trac uses a database as its backend and custom revision 
control for wiki pages, so we're out of luck.  That is, unless those clever 
Trac folks have changed things while I wasn't looking...

Cheers,
