    Note that when the repository `.type` is not specified, the value of `[trac] repository_type` is used. [[br]]
    In the above example, this means that `my_repo_a` and `my_repo_b` are Mercurial (hg) repositories. [[br]]
-   Note also that for now, only the `direct-svnfs` repository type can be used for Subversion repositories,
-   as the cached repository used by the other type (`svn`) has not yet been extended to support multiple repositories.

 > 2. Since you use the init tag as the name to show in the ''Repository Index'', it seems I cannot have a period in the name of the repository as shown.
 
 Also related to the way the the .ini keys are read. It would be possible to look first for the ending `.dir` part and then get the name.

 > 3. I get a ''default'' in the ''Repository Index'', as well as that same repository listed in the previous single repository manner. I think that when the multiple repositories are listed, and one of them is the same as the trac repository_dir, it does not need to be listed twice or three times.
