Changed folder → directory for consistency, added carriage returns to source (not sure if that is a good idea (it's better for diffing, but not for wrapping), but wasn't consistent?), many other changes

    7 At the toplevel of the repository browser, you'll find the '''Repository Index''', listing all the configured repositories.
    8 A repository has a name which is used as a path prefix in a "virtual" file hierarchy encompassing all the available repositories. If a default repository has been configured, its toplevel files and folders are also listed, in a '''Default Repository''' section placed before the repository index.

     34'''MMM''' there is no ''View revision'' input field at the top of the Repository Browser page.
     35I found out why. There are actually two views for the repository browser in 0.12 ...
     36 a) Before you in a particular repo (http://localhost/test_env/browser)
     37 b) After you are in a particular repo (http://localhost/test_env/browser/MyProject)

     39I don't currently know which view it goes to if you only have a default repo.

    3254to select some interesting places in the repository, for example branches or tags.
    3355This is sometimes referred to as the ''browser quickjump'' facility.
    34 The precise meaning and content of this menu depends on your backend.
    35 For Subversion, this list contains by default the top-level trunk directory and sub-directories of the top-level branches and tags directories (`/trunk`, `/branches/*`, and `/tags/*`).  This can be [TracIni#svn-section configured] for more advanced cases.

    3865 - use `'j'` and `'k'` to select the next or previous entry, starting with the first

    44 Those controls will also operate on the entry under the mouse if no row has been selected using `'j'` or `'k'`.

     75I guess that some keys are upper case and some lower to avoid conflicts with browser defined keys.
     76I find for example in Firefox and IE on windows that 'a' works as well as 'A' but 'l' does not work for 'L'.

    4679For the Subversion backend, some additional features are available:
    47  - Displays the `svn:needs-lock` property
     80 - The `svn:needs-lock` property will be displayed
    4881 - Support for the `svn:mergeinfo` property showing the merged and eligible information
    49  - Support for browsing the `svn:externals` property (which can be [TracIni#svn:externals-section configured])
    50  - The `svn:mime-type` property is used to select the syntax highlighter for rendering the file. For example, setting `svn:mime-type` to `text/html` will ensure the file is highlighted as HTML, regardless of the file extension. It also allows selecting the character encoding used in the file content. For example, if the file content is encoded in UTF-8, set `svn:mime-type` to `text/html;charset=utf-8`. The `charset=` specification overrides the default encoding defined in the `default_charset` option of the `[trac]` section of [TracIni#trac-section trac.ini].

     92I found this section a bit hard to understand. I changed the first item as I understood that well.
