I thought that was rather a backup than a trac problem.

In the past we were told to not attach *any* binary files because they
would end up in some (VCS?) repo where they would remain forever even
after deletion on trac.

I couldn't find any reference to that in our current documentation
though.  (I'm pretty sure there used to be a note on that in the Sage
trac guidelines, or at least on the main page of the Sage trac wiki, and
at some point we had spkg-upload.googlecode.com for exactly that
purpose, at least for those without a sage.math cluster account, when
everybody's home folder was accessible via HTTP.)
