 ||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. ||

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

 The 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.
 
-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.

 === Explicit synchronization === #ExplicitSync
-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.

 Note 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.
 
-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.

+
+==== Git ====
+
+Git 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-receive` file in your git repo (note: this will do nothing if you only update the repo by pushing to it):
+{{{#!sh
+#!/bin/sh 
+REV=$(git rev-parse HEAD) 
+trac-admin /path/to/env changeset added <repos> $REV 
+}}}
+
+Alternately, if your repository is one that only gets pushed to, add the following to the `hooks/post-receive` file in the repo:
+{{{#!sh
+#!/bin/sh
+while read oldrev newrev refname; do
+        git rev-list --reverse $newrev ^$oldrev  | \
+        while read rev; do
+                trac-admin /path/to/env changeset added <repos> $rev
+        done
+done
+}}}
+
+The `<repos>` argument can be either a repository name (use "`(default)`" for the default repository) or the path to the repository.
+
+==== Mercurial ====
+
+For 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):
+{{{#!ini
+[hooks]
+; If mercurial-plugin is installed globally
