Actually, it's tough to overstate the value of this feature. In
OpenLayers, as a matter of project policy, each commit message
references the bug number it addresses (if applicable), and then each
bug references the commit(s) that fixes it when the bug is closed.
Trac's ability to then auto-linkify these references in the Trac web
interface has immeasurably enhanced our ability to document and track
changes to the code, and be able to sift through when and why a
particular change was made. These things are all possible with CVS and
Bugzilla, but Trac and SVN make it totally painless.
