A few years back we selected FogBugz (http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/) as the best issue tracking system available. It integrates well with versioning systems, has an integrated wiki and project management abilities. We are very satisfied. It is not an open source product however, but not extremely expensive.

I'm confused. Git is a source control repo, like svn.

Trac is an issue tracker.

Okay, you switched from svn to git (which to me seems somewhat orthogonal to issue tracker, although it's true that certain issue tracker software integrates with some versioning control systems and not others, like trac does with svn).

But what are you using for issue tracking now, instead of Trac?  git is not an issue tracker, so I'm not sure what you mean by "git's better issue handling", git doesn't do issue handling (any more than svn does). 
Do you mean you're using github.com as your git host, and their issue tracker? Or something else?
