I user Trac for my Wiki my personal SVN repos.
Here's an email I posted this list a couple weeks ago about the topic:

I have had 'Trac' thrust upon me by an employee/coworker and while it is not
"perfect" (or even close to it), it does what it does, and it does it pretty
well.
http://trac.edgewall.org/
Some of my favorite things about it are:
Wiki is pretty common tags
(http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiFormatting)
Subversion integration with diff, view source, and
svn commit hooks ("fixes, references, etc")
You can integrate SQL 'reports' and the Wiki together. This rocks!
Ticket tracking
Roadmap graphs
Plugins
Can have different 'Tracs' setups on same server (I run two - biz
and personal)
On the negative side:
It is a little tricky to install IMHO.
It uses SQLlite (this is a pro and a con at the same time)
doesn't seem to be updated with any frequency or regularity
it's not even a 1.0 -- but that's all the rage with the kids it
seems
v0.11 is due "any day now"
all written in python (yuk)
Tickets are sort of cumbersome
and they store the TEXTUAL names rather than relations. *sigh*
(for example, if you change an employee,
you have to search and replace the NAME,
not just a 'user' relational link) .WTF.
