    11 == Specifying repositories == #Repositories
     11== Specifying repositories #Repositories
    1212Starting with 0.12, Trac can handle more than one repository per environment. The pre-0.12 way of specifying the repository with the `repository_dir` and `repository_type` options in the `[trac]` section of [wiki:TracIni trac.ini] is still supported, but two new mechanisms allow including additional repositories into an environment.

    2424||The `dir` attribute specifies the location of the repository in the filesystem. It corresponds to the value previously specified in the option `[trac] repository_dir`. The `alias` and `dir` attributes are mutually exclusive. ||
    2525||`hidden` ||When set to `true`, the repository is hidden from the repository index page in the source browser. Browsing the repository is still possible, and links referencing the repository remain valid. ||
    26 ||`name` ||The `name` attribute specifies the leading path element to the repository. ||
    27 ||`type` ||The `type` attribute sets the type of version control system used by the repository. Trac supports Subversion out-of-the-box, and plugins add support for many other systems. If `type` is not specified, it defaults to the value of the `[trac] repository_type` option. ||
     26||`type` ||The `type` attribute sets the type of version control system used by the repository. Trac supports Subversion and Git out-of-the-box, and plugins add support for many other systems. If `type` is not specified, it defaults to the value of the `[trac] repository_type` option. ||
    2827||`url` ||The `url` attribute specifies the root URL to be used for checking out from the repository. When specified, a "Repository URL" link is added to the context navigation links in the source browser, that can be copied into the tool used for creating the working copy. ||
    2928
    30 The `name` attribute and one of `alias` or `dir` are mandatory. All others are optional.

    3231After adding a repository, the cache for that repository must be re-synchronized once with the `trac-admin $ENV repository resync` command.

    38 === In `trac.ini` === #ReposTracIni
     37=== In `trac.ini` #ReposTracIni
    3938Repositories and repository attributes can be specified in the `[repositories]` section of [wiki:TracIni#repositories-section trac.ini]. Every attribute consists of a key structured as `{name}.{attribute}` and the corresponding value separated with an equal sign (`=`). The name of the default repository is empty.
    4039
    4140The main advantage of specifying repositories in `trac.ini` is that they can be inherited from a global configuration (see the [wiki:TracIni#GlobalConfiguration global configuration] section of TracIni). One drawback is that, due to limitations in the `ConfigParser` class used to parse `trac.ini`, the repository name is always all-lowercase.
    4241
    43 The following example defines two Subversion repositories named `project` and `lib`, and a hidden alias to `project` as the default repository. This is a typical use case where a Trac environment previously had a single repository (the `project` repository), and was converted to multiple repositories. The alias ensures that links predating the change continue to resolve to the `project` repository.

    6161Repositories can also be specified in the database, using either the "Repositories" admin panel under "Version Control", or the `trac-admin $ENV repository` commands.
    6262
    … …  
    7979Note that the default repository has an empty name, so it will likely need to be quoted when running `trac-admin` from a shell. Alternatively, the name "`(default)`" can be used instead, for example when running `trac-admin` in interactive mode.

    81 
    82 == Repository synchronization == #Synchronization
     81== Repository caching
     82
     83The Subversion and Git repository connectors support caching, which improves the performance browsing the repository, viewing logs and viewing changesets. Cached repositories must be [#Synchronization synchronized]; either explicit or implicit synchronization can be used. When searching changesets, only cached repositories are searched.
     84
     85Subversion repositories are cached unless the type is `direct-svnfs`. Git repositories are cached when `[git]` [wiki:TracIni#git-section cached_repository] is `true`.
     86
     87== Repository synchronization #Synchronization
    8388Prior to 0.12, Trac synchronized its cache with the repository on every HTTP request. This approach is not very efficient and not practical anymore with multiple repositories. For this reason, explicit synchronization through post-commit hooks was added.
    8489
    8590There is also new functionality in the form of a repository listener extension point ''(IRepositoryChangeListener)'' that is triggered by the post-commit hook when a changeset is added or modified, and can be used by plugins to perform actions on commit.
    8691
    87 === Mercurial Repositories ===
     92=== Mercurial Repositories
    8893Please note that at the time of writing, no initial resynchronization or any hooks are necessary for Mercurial repositories - see [trac:#9485] for more information.
    8994
    90 === Explicit synchronization === #ExplicitSync
    91 This is the preferred method of repository synchronization. It requires setting the `[trac]  repository_sync_per_request` option in [wiki:TracIni#trac-section trac.ini] to an empty value, and adding a call to `trac-admin` in the post-commit hook of each repository. Additionally, if a repository allows changing revision metadata, a call to `trac-admin` must be added to the post-revprop-change hook as well.

    99104The `<repos>` argument can be either a repository name (use "`(default)`" for the default repository) or the path to the repository.
    100105
    101 Note that you may have to set the environment variable PYTHON_EGG_CACHE to the same value as was used for the web server configuration before calling trac-admin, if you changed it from its default location. See [wiki:TracPlugins Trac Plugins] for more information.

     107
     108==== Subversion
    102109
    103110The following examples are complete post-commit and post-revprop-change scripts for Subversion. They should be edited for the specific environment, marked executable (where applicable) and placed in the `hooks` directory of each repository. On Unix (`post-commit`):
    … …  
    107114/usr/bin/trac-admin /path/to/env changeset added "$1" "$2"
    108115}}}
     116Note: Check with `whereis trac-admin`, whether `trac-admin` is really installed under `/usr/bin/` or maybe under `/usr/local/bin/` and adapt the path.
    109117On Windows (`post-commit.cmd`):
    110 {{{#!application/x-dos-batch
     118{{{#!bat
    111119@C:\Python26\Scripts\trac-admin.exe C:\path\to\env changeset added "%1" "%2"
    112120}}}
    … …  
    119127}}}
    120128On Windows (`post-revprop-change.cmd`):
    121 {{{#!application/x-dos-batch
     129{{{#!bat
    122130@C:\Python26\Scripts\trac-admin.exe C:\path\to\env changeset modified "%1" "%2"
    123131}}}
    … …  
    127135Note that calling `trac-admin` in your Subversion hooks can slow down the commit and log editing operations on the client side. You might want to use the [trac:source:trunk/contrib/trac-svn-hook contrib/trac-svn-hook] script which starts `trac-admin` in an asynchronous way. The script also comes with a number of safety checks and usage advices which should make it easier to set up and test your hooks. There's no equivalent `trac-svn-hook.bat` for Windows yet, but the script can be run by Cygwin's bash.

    129 See the [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.reposadmin.create.html#svn.reposadmin.create.hooks section about hooks] in the Subversion book for more information. Other repository types will require different hook setups. Please see the plugin documentation for specific instructions.
    130 
    131 === Per-request synchronization === #PerRequestSync
     137See the [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.reposadmin.create.html#svn.reposadmin.create.hooks section about hooks] in the Subversion book for more information. Other repository types will require different hook setups.
     138
     139==== Git
     140
     141Git hooks can be used in the same way for explicit syncing of Git repositories.  If your git repository is one that gets committed to directly on the machine that hosts trac, add the following to the `hooks/post-commit` file in your git repo (note: this will do nothing if you only update the repo by pushing to it):
     142{{{#!sh
     143#!/bin/sh
     144REV=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
     145trac-admin /path/to/env changeset added <repos> $REV
     146}}}
     147
     148Alternately, if your repository is one that only gets pushed to, add the following to the `hooks/post-receive` file in the repo:
     149{{{#!sh
     150#!/bin/sh
     151tracenv=/path/to/env     # change with your Trac environment's path
     152repos=                   # change with your repository's name
     153while read oldrev newrev refname; do
     154    if [ "$oldrev" = 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ]; then
     155        git rev-list --reverse "$newrev" --
     156    else
     157        git rev-list --reverse "$newrev" "^$oldrev" --
     158    fi | xargs trac-admin "$tracenv" changeset added "$repos"
     159done
     160}}}
     161
     162The `<repos>` argument can be either a repository name (use "`(default)`" for the default repository) or the path to the repository.
     163
     164==== Mercurial
     165
     166For Mercurial, add the following entries to the `.hgrc` file of each repository accessed by Trac (if [trac:TracMercurial] is installed in a Trac `plugins` directory, download [trac:source:mercurial-plugin/tracext/hg/hooks.py hooks.py] and place it somewhere accessible):
     167{{{#!ini
     168[hooks]
     169; If mercurial-plugin is installed globally
     170commit = python:tracext.hg.hooks.add_changesets
     171changegroup = python:tracext.hg.hooks.add_changesets
     172
     173; If mercurial-plugin is installed in a Trac plugins directory
     174commit = python:/path/to/hooks.py:add_changesets
     175changegroup = python:/path/to/hooks.py:add_changesets
     176
     177[trac]
     178env = /path/to/env
     179trac-admin = /path/to/trac-admin
     180}}}
     181
     182=== Per-request synchronization #PerRequestSync
    132183If the post-commit hooks are not available, the environment can be set up for per-request synchronization. In that case, the `[trac] repository_sync_per_request` option in [wiki:TracIni#trac-section trac.ini] must be set to a comma-separated list of repository names to be synchronized.

    137 == Migration from a single-repository setup (Subversion) == #Migration
     188== Automatic changeset references in tickets
     189
     190You can automatically add a reference to the changeset as a ticket comment whenever changes are committed to the repository. The description of the commit needs to contain one of the following formulas:
     191 * '''`Refs #123`''' - to reference this changeset in `#123` ticket
     192 * '''`Fixes #123`''' - to reference this changeset and close `#123` ticket with the default status ''fixed''
     193
     194This functionality requires installing a post-commit hook as described in [#ExplicitSync], and enabling the optional commit updater components by adding the following line to the `[components]` section of your [wiki:TracIni#components-section trac.ini], or enabling the components in the //Plugins// admin panel.
     195{{{#!ini
     196tracopt.ticket.commit_updater.* = enabled
     197}}}
     198For more information, see the documentation of the `CommitTicketUpdater` component in the //Plugins// admin panel and the [trac:CommitTicketUpdater] page.
     199
     200== Migration from a single-repository setup (Subversion) #Migration
    138201The following procedure illustrates a typical migration from a Subversion single-repository setup to multiple repositories.
    139202
    140203 1. Remove the default repository specification from the `[trac] repository_dir` option.
    141  1. Add the "main" repository as a named repository.
     204 1. Add the main repository as a named repository.
    142205 1. Re-synchronize the main repository.
    143  1. Set up post-commit and post-revprop-change hooks on the main repository, and set `[trac] repository_sync_per_request` to an empty value.
    144  1. Add a hidden alias to the main repository as the default repository. This ensures that all links predating the migration still resolve to the main repository.
    145  1. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 to add other (named) repositories as needed.
    146 
    147 == Migration from a single-repository setup (Mercurial) == #MigrationMercurial
    148 The following procedure illustrates a typical migration from a Mercurial single-repository setup to multiple repositories. Please note that at the time of writing, no initial resynchronization or any hooks are necessary for Mercurial repositories - see #9485 for more information.
    149 
    150  1. Upgrade to the latest version of the TracMercurial plugin.
     206 1. Set up post-commit and post-revprop-change hooks on the "main" repository, and set `[trac] repository_sync_per_request` to an empty value.
     207 1. Add an alias to the main repository as the default repository (by leaving out the the `name`, e.g. `.alias = main`). This ensures that all links predating the migration still resolve to the main repository.
     208 1. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 to add other "named" repositories as needed.
     209
     210== Migration from a single-repository setup (Mercurial) #MigrationMercurial
     211The following procedure illustrates a typical migration from a Mercurial single-repository setup to multiple repositories. Please note that at the time of writing, no initial resynchronization or any hooks are necessary for Mercurial repositories - see [trac:ticket:9485 #9485] for more information.
     212
     213 1. Upgrade to the latest version of the [trac:TracMercurial] plugin.
    151214 1. Remove the default repository specification from the `[trac] repository_dir` option.
    152  1. Add the "main" repository as a named repository.
    153  1. Add a hidden alias to the main repository as the default repository. This ensures that all links predating the migration still resolve to the main repository.
    154  1. Repeat step 3 to add other (named) repositories as needed.
    155 
    156 == Troubleshooting ==
    157 
    158 === My trac-post-commit-hook doesn't work anymore === #trac-post-commit-hook
     215 1. Add the main repository as a named repository.
     216 1. Add an alias to the main repository as the default repository (by leaving out the the `name`, e.g. `.alias = main`). This ensures that all links predating the migration still resolve to the main repository.
     217 1. Repeat step 3 to add other "named" repositories as needed.
     218
     219== Troubleshooting
     220
     221=== My trac-post-commit-hook doesn't work anymore #trac-post-commit-hook
    159222
    160223You must now use the optional components from `tracopt.ticket.commit_updater.*`, which you can activate through the Plugins panel in the Administrative part of the web interface, or by directly modifying the [TracIni#components-section "[components]"] section in the trac.ini. Be sure to use [#ExplicitSync explicit synchronization] as explained above.
