No, he meant Trac:  http://www.red-bean.com/trac/svnbook

Yeah, that's the kind of concern I have.  I dunno, when describing
Subversion to people it's easy to brag about it in terms of its wins over
CVS.  But that line of comparison only makes sense to CVS users.  We ought
to be able to speak highly of Subversion because its features are Good, or
because it encourages Good software development practices, or, you know,
thing that stand on their own merits.
