I just used git-svn:

http://help.github.com/svn-importing/

There are other possibilities too.

I did a little googling and found:

http://github.com/poseidix/TRAC-SVN-to-GIT-migration

but I never tried it. I would just install trac-git and create a git
repository (see the link above) and push it in.

Lots of people host the git at github, and the rest at trac, or other
hosting server. Some people use github for everything, but you don't
need to.
