I can see how it would make sense to hook up Trac to creating 
branches, checking in files and stuff but not much else, maybe I 
don't have enough imagination. How is it integrated?

Btw, the Emacs SVN mode with diffing, blame and friends is fan-tas-tic.

Yes.

What does that look like, and what's the benefit? Is it POD type 
docs, or more like the class interface?

Yes. And style (Perl::Critic).

Well, I find it utterly annoying to get this feedback before saving, 
because that generally means I'm either typing, thinking or idling 
and I don't want to be interrupted doing that (idling being very 
precious to me). But getting this feedback on save is very useful.
