Integrate Textarea javascript based syntax highlighting code editor into trac

Description

From time to time I have thought it would be really great if I could hit a button inside the source browser and submit a patch *inside trac* rather than having to check the code out and do it someplace else.

Of course, this would often be a lot easier to do if the code to be edited was displayed inside a syntax highlighting code editor.

Today I found one, via Simon Willison's blog, it's called EditArea?.

One problem with this is that trac must access the subversion permissions which might be completely different from the trac permissions.

Replying to martin_s:

I don't think it would be unreasonable to have the solution require that permissions for Trac and Subversion are synchronized using SvnAuthzAdminPlugin or something similar.

+1 on this enhancement, though I'd like to see some more subversion operations integrated as well, such as:

  • copying, moving, deleting of files.
  • branching...

Perhaps the best way to do this would be to do create a shallow checkout of the repository for the user/session, perform the edits then do the checkin while showing the diff of all changes. Special case the single file edit as a streamlined version of this and it should work a treat.

Certainly a great way to reduce the effort required to participate in open source projects - I'm leaving judgement on whether this is a good thing or not up to the reader.
