Trac browse source unusably slow

[Tom Goddard]

Takes about 2 minutes to show ChimeraX Trac web page Browse Source. Makes it unusable.

I guess this is a feature of the new plato server.

Maybe our plan to move ChimeraX source code to github is the long term solution to this.

I changed two things:

• Made the "explicit synchronization" change recommended by ​https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracRepositoryAdmin#Git
• Ran git gc as suggested by ​https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1183769/git-status-takes-a-long-time-to-complete/1185548

It's still not blindingly fast, but better than a two-minute response time.

Great!  Now it takes 5 seconds instead of 100 seconds to show the top of the ChimeraX source tree in the web browser.  Big improvement.  Still slow but usable.
