 == Repository synchronization == #Synchronization
-Prior to 0.12, Trac synchronized its cache with the repository on every request. This approach is not practical anymore with multiple repositories. For this reason, explicit synchronization through post-commit hooks was added. This also provides new functionality in the form of a repository listener extension point that is called when a changeset is added or modified, and can be used by plugins to perform actions on commit.
