Here's similar question, but it doesn't seem to be correct in meaning of trac, redmine.

Does anyone know this for sure?

  • This question seems to imply that you read some source that describes Trac and Redmine as SCM tools, but you don't cite any example of that and I can't find any instance of anyone saying that except for the accepted answer right here. That leaves this question a bit unclear and confused. It seems to me that they straightforwardly are *not* SCM tools, contrary to what the Q&A here both imply. – Mark Amery Apr 12 '19 at 16:42

Both, really. Software configuration management encompasses source code management. Trac and redmine do both, really. VCS (version control system) is typically a better term because it's unambiguous.

    as far as i know trac and redmine are tools to manage work and bugs, not code (at least this is what i use it for). git, mercurial or svn are VCSs – seler May 22 '11 at 21:00
  • @seler both Trac and Redmine offer interfaces to VCSs like svn or git. You are correct, they are not VCSs in themselves, but they play a role in source code management (perhaps just not the way that you use them). – Rafe Kettler May 22 '11 at 21:02
