JIRA: Overkill, hard to use.
Lighthouse: not overkill, hosted, no setup.
Redmine: not overkill, flexible, easy to set up.

You probably mean a Git server, not a GitHub server (unless you want to
pay thousands of dollars for GitHub's software). First of all, there's
GitHub itself. Paid members can create private projects. Also check
out Gitorious.

If you want your own Git server, Gitosis is the way to go.

Like I said, Lighthouse or Redmine.

Never tried Mercury. I'm using Mockingbird.
