    67 * Enable the repository connector(s) for the version control system(s) that you will use.
    78 * Add repositories through the //Repositories// admin page, using `trac-admin` or by editing the `[repositories]` section of [[wiki:TracIni#repositories-section|trac.ini]].

    5453||`hidden` ||\
    5554|| 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. ||
     55||`name` ||\
     56|| Identifies the version control system used by the repository. This field is mandatory. ||
    5657||`sync_per_request`||\
    5758|| When set to `true` the repository will be synchronized on every request (implicit synchronization). This is generally not recommended. See [#Synchronization repository synchronization] for a comparison of explicit and implicit synchronization. The attribute defaults to `false`. ||
    5859||`type` ||\
    59 || The `type` attribute specifies the version control system used by the repository. Trac provides support for Subversion and Git, and plugins add support for several other systems. If `type` is not specified, it defaults to the value of the `[versioncontrol]` [wiki:TracIni#versioncontrol-default_repository_type-option default_repository_type] option. ||

    6061||`url` ||\
    61 || 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. ||
