Why is that a problem? With the syncCount patch any later refresh() methods
will just wait for the first invocation to finish before just returning without
invoking another sync. Also, the usual case is that there are no changes to
report, so the amortized cost of the refresh() method is still pretty small.
The sync mutex already implements a lower bound delay that prevents any two
syncs from executing concurrently. Adding more delay is IMHO stepping to the
client territory. The client may have a good reason to want to sync more
frequently (Micah's round robin case is an excellent example) and I see no
reason why the repository should explicitly try to degrade the performance
below what the hardware is capable of.

> Based on the thread on the user mailing list I'm logging this to propose
> adding a sync() method to force cluster synchronization using the
> JackrabbitRepository extension API.
> The purpose of the method is such that in a distributed clustered environment
> sometime cluster synchronization does or has not occurred such that certain
> repositories are in a stale state. This method would provide a means to
> force a repository to update pull in possible changes made by other
> Jackrabbit repositories.
