I would really advise anyone trying out Trac to run it with postgres
as a repository instead, especially on large projects.

Here's how wiki is stored:

vcommtrac=# \d wiki
      Table "public.wiki"
  Column  |  Type   | Modifiers
----------+---------+-----------
 name     | text    | not null
 version  | integer | not null
 time     | integer |
 author   | text    |
 ipnr     | text    |
 text     | text    |
 comment  | text    |
 readonly | integer |

All Wiki changes go into the Timeline along with SVN commits,
milestones, bugs, etc. You can track/reverse the changes there.
However, exporting a latest snapshot of everything in wiki and running
SVN commit over it should not be a problem, I think - this could be
done both as creating bunch of files, one file per article, and by
tracking a pg_dump output.

I don't know how much experience you have with Trac so some of this
might be obvious to you. Hope this helps.
