It looks at least to be supported from trac 1.0 onward, and as a third 
party plugin before that.

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracGit

which mention

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/CommitTicketUpdater

to do these things.  The pages does however indicate some performance 
issues with larger repositories and the Git integration.  There need to 
be tracking local clones of the repositories at the trac server.

Tighter integration with GitHub repositories and features than what this 
plugin currently seems to support may be desirable.  Maybe:

https://github.com/aaugustin/trac-github

could be used.

I suspect migrating away from trac in a sensible way is a lot more work 
though, so this may be worth it.
