Seems like somewhere between Trac and Github. I'd like to see it integrate with TicGit; that would rule. Trac's tickets are nice but having tickets integrate with the repo itself and being able to mess with tickets when offline or unable to reach your Trac installation is super nice. Especially if you're working on a project for a client, having them be able to open tickets is a huge plus (AFAIK TicGitWeb doesn't do this or integrate with gitweb/cgit/Gitorious.)
Take a look at Redmine (http://www.redmine.org/). We're using it for all our internal projects. The git integration is a bit sparse at the moment. You can't browse around branches. But the basics are there.
If you want to deal with tickets offline, you can use SD:

I don't know what the status of the Trac support is, but it should be easy to add.

Nice that you can have your own Gitorious. But Gitorious is not Github. One of the biggest and most useful differences is the fork queue.
That's not the advantage of Github. The advantage of Github is that everyone else has an account already.
Account management is tedious, and it's something I never want to do. With Github, people can fork my projects without me doing anything until they actually commit something. This saves me a lot of time, since people say they want to work on something, but never do. With Github, these people don't take up any of my time. If they do end up contributing it takes about the same amount of time to make them a committer on Github as it does anywhere else.
Anyway, the network effect always wins.

Call me a naysayer, but this is the danger of starting your company too close to the open source flame. Eventually the community decides they'd rather have an open/free version and you get burned.
on the other hand, the proprietary solution lasts only as long as the company providing it stays in business.

At first glance the name is unfortunately similar to "clitoris" - wonder if this deliberate?
yeah... *registers http://gitoris.com. I wonder if it gets type in traffic?
Seriously tho, don't down mod me I have a serious comment - IMHO, Github is way better just because of the graphics. I know, the old mac vs PC vs Linux debate comes to mind, but seriously graphics make me work better. They makes me happier. And Github is just pretty - the spacing of the letters are nice, the look is all light and pretty, etc. It makes me WANT to submit another commit!
But it's still awesome there are alternatives out there. Way to go, coder gents.
