That's Trac, not SVN doing it - all other version control systems do a 
similar thing.

This is easily doable with both mercurial and git. If you use a tool 
like bitbucket or github (which I *highly* recommend you do, opens up a 
huge community to you, I know of several cases where projects have been 
discovered through them and gained contributors etc).

There's guides for doing this in both mercurial and git, you generally 
just run one command one time and forget about it, any time you do 
git/hg merge it will then automatically use meld or any other tool you 
discover.
