Trac and remote SVN servers

Do the SVN server Trac relates to have to reside on the same as the Trac installation?

At present, alas it seems so. (If you’re new to Trac and need a one-stop-shop of commands, look here.)

http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/2828 points to and abstracts http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/493

Seems like Trac and remote SVN is not happening yet, though SVN replication is an option… There is also an obscure comment some two years ago about a remote plugin, which was at alpha, but the project seems to have since disappeared/moved…

Sigh…
