This feature has never been implemented in an official Trac release.
You appear to have patched your installation with some of the patches
contributed here: http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/ticket/199

You can try reapplying those patches to Trac 0.8.2.  

Another implementation of this feature is being worked on for possible
integration into a new version of Trac.
