Description

The Darcs patch browser plugin for Trac uses up an awful lot of memory as it runs. It might be better to tailor the buildbot source into a Mercurial repository and use the Mercurial Trac plugin instead.

in addition, the sqlite database (db/trac.db) contains an enormous volume of cache entries, something like 136MB, completely dwarfing the 1MB of non-darcs-cache data in there, making backups kind of expensive.

Also, trac got really confused when I merged in a branch, since afterwards the timestamps of patches were no longer monotonically increasing. The result is that the timeline now shows just the patches that were modified on the branch and those added later, and no longer shows patches that were made earlier than the branch was started.
