    7 and files stored in the repositories associated with the Trac environment.

    10 At the top-level of the repository browser is the '''Repository Index''',
    11 listing all the configured repositories.
    12 Each repository has a name which is used as a path prefix in a
    13 "virtual" file hierarchy encompassing all the available repositories.
    14 One of the repositories can be configured with an empty name; this is the default repository.  When such a default repository is present, its top-level files and directories
    15 are also listed, in a '''Default Repository''' section placed before the
    16 repository index. If the default repository is the only repository associated
    17 with the Trac environment the '''Repository Index''' will be omitted ^[#note-multirepos (1)]^.

    19 Directory entries are displayed in a list with sortable columns. The list
    20 entries can be sorted by ''Name'', ''Size'', ''Age'' or ''Author'' by clicking on the column
    21 headers. The sort order can be reversed by clicking on a given column
    22 header again.
     12Directory entries are displayed in a list with sortable columns. The list entries can be sorted by ''Name'', ''Size'', ''Age''/''Date'' or ''Author'' by clicking on the column headers. The third sortable column is labeled //Age// when the //Time format// [/prefs/localization preference] is //Relative// and //Date// when the //Time format// is //Absolute//. The sort order can be reversed by clicking on a given column header again.

    24 The browser can be used to navigate through the directory structure
    25 by clicking on the directory names.
    26 Clicking on a file name will show the contents of the file.
    27 Clicking on the revision number of a file or directory will take
    28 you to the TracRevisionLog for that file.
    29 Note that there's also a ''Revision Log'' navigation link that will do the
    30 same for the path currently being examined.
    31 Clicking on the ''diff'' icon after revision number will display the changes made
    32 to the files modified in that revision.
    33 Clicking on the ''Age'' of the file - will take you to that changeset in the timeline.

    35 It's also possible to browse directories or files as they were in history,
    36 at any given repository revision. The default behavior is to display the
    37 latest revision but another revision number can easily be selected using
    38 the ''View revision'' input field at the top of the page.

    40 The color bar next to the ''Age'' column gives a visual indication of the age
    41 of the last change to a file or directory, following the convention that
    42 '''[[span(style=color:#88f,blue)]]''' is oldest and '''[[span(style=color:#f88,red)]]'''
    43 is newest, but this can be [TracIni#browser-section configured].

    45 At the top of the browser page, there's a ''Visit'' drop-down menu which you can use
    46 to select some interesting places in the repository, for example branches or tags.
     25At the top of the browser page, there's a ''Visit'' drop-down menu which you can use to select some interesting places in the repository, for example branches or tags.
    4726This is sometimes referred to as the ''browser quickjump'' facility.
    4827The precise meaning and content of this menu depends on your repository backend.
    49 For Subversion, this list contains by default the top-level trunk directory
    50 and sub-directories of the top-level branches and tags directories
    51 (`/trunk`, `/branches/*`, and `/tags/*`).  This can be [TracIni#svn-section configured]
    52 for more advanced cases.
     28For 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 configured for more advanced cases through the `[svn]` [TracIni#svn-branches-option "branches"] and [TracIni#svn-tags-option "tags"] options.

    54 If you're using a Javascript enabled browser, you'll be able to expand and
    55 collapse directories in-place by clicking on the arrow head at the right side of a
    56 directory. Alternatively, the [trac:TracKeys keyboard] can also be used for this:
    57  - use `'j'` and `'k'` to select the next or previous entry, starting with the first
    58  - `'o'` (open) to toggle between expanded and collapsed state of the selected
    59    directory or for visiting the selected file
    60  - `'v'` (view, visit) and `'<Enter>'`, same as above
    61  - `'r'` can be used to force the reload of an already expanded directory
    62  - `'A'` can be used to directly visit a file in annotate (blame) mode
    63  - `'L'` to view the log for the selected entry
    64 If no row has been selected using `'j'` or `'k'` these keys will operate on the entry under the mouse .

    67 MMM: I guess that some keys are upper case and some lower to avoid conflicts with browser defined keys.
    68 I find for example in Firefox and IE on windows that 'a' works as well as 'A' but 'l' does not work for 'L'.
    69  cboos: 'l' is reserved for Vim like behavior, see #7867

    7232For the Subversion backend, some advanced additional features are available:
    73  - The `svn:needs-lock` property will be displayed
    74  - Support for the `svn:mergeinfo` property showing the merged and eligible information
    75  - Support for browsing the `svn:externals` property
    76    (which can be [TracIni#svn:externals-section configured])
    77  - The `svn:mime-type` property is used to select the syntax highlighter for rendering
    78    the file. For example, setting `svn:mime-type` to `text/html` will ensure the file is
    79    highlighted as HTML, regardless of the file extension. It also allows selecting the character
    80    encoding used in the file content. For example, if the file content is encoded in UTF-8,
    81    set `svn:mime-type` to `text/html;charset=utf-8`. The `charset=` specification overrides the
    82    default encoding defined in the `default_charset` option of the `[trac]` section
    83    of [TracIni#trac-section trac.ini].
     33 - The `svn:needs-lock` property is shown.
     34 - The `svn:mergeinfo` property shows eligible and merged revisions.
     35 - The `svn:externals` property can be [TracIni#svn:externals-section configured] to display a link to an external repository.
     36 - 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 [TracIni#trac-default_charset-option "[trac] default_charset"] option.

    93 [=#note-multirepos (1)] -  This means that after upgrading a single-repository Trac of version
    94 0.11 (or below) to a multi-repository Trac (0.12), the repository browser will look and feel
    95 the same, that single repository becoming automatically the "default" repository.
