Make UI tool for admin for resyncing log comments

[zfrith@…]

Subversion comments in the Trac timeline are not updated when they are modified via subversions svn propset command. The developers on my team occasionally need to modify a comment associated with a change set. The modified comment show up when using Trac's Browse Source, but the timeline is not updated.

It would be nice to have an easy way to "refresh" the timeline rather that having to write a sql statment to manually modify the trac table every time a developer messes up a commit comment.

Trac has no way to know a log message has changed without retrieveing the complete history on every request to the timeline and changeset pages. That's why we provide the resync command in trac-admin. Also see #1271 for extending the resync command so that it accepts revision ranges.

From time to time bad things happens - we are humans after all. And revision log has to be edited afterwards. It would be nice to have UI widget to run resync instead of launching trac-admin from commanline, just like deleting wiki pages/versions can be done.

[Christopher Lenz]

That would be a candidate for the WebAdmin then.

See #2382 for a patch.
