 Let me begin by saying that trac is a great way to go looking through
 source code and trace the evolution of a source tree.  However, when I
 click on the line number of a line of code right now, it links to a named
 anchor to that line.  It would be nice if there were also a link to all
 the diffs that modified or introduced that line of code.  This might take
 some work, as it would involve checking to see if the previous line that
 was there was substantially similar to the current line, but it would be
 worth it.  This feature would allow tracing the history of particular
 lines or functions over time, something very useful to figure out what's
 going on with the source code now.
