I like trac for the way you can cross-index changesets against bug
reports (eg. you write "fixes ticket:37" in an svn commit, and when
you view that commit in trac it is hyperlinked to the bug report).

I don't like it for it's spam attraction, as a result of which our
trac fairly uselessly requires you to have an existing account in
order to log bugs.

I've heard good things about redmine recently, a similar project but
with better user management and captchas and stuff, and perhaps some
other features. You might want to check that out instead.

Conrad.
