db: drop Repository CacheInvalidation

The benefit of this functionality is questionable. Especially in bigger setups
with multiple front-end instances all serving the same multitude of
repositories, making the hit rate very low. And the overhead of storing cache
invalidation data *in* the database is non-trivial.

We preserve a small cache in Repository SA records, but should probably just in
general know what we are doing and not ask for the same information multiple
times in each request.

.. _backup:

====================
Backing up Kallithea
====================


Settings
--------

Just copy your .ini file, it contains all Kallithea settings.


Whoosh index
------------

The Whoosh index is located in the ``data/index`` directory where you installed
Kallithea, i.e., the same place where the ini file is located


Database
--------

When using sqlite just copy kallithea.db.
Any other database engine requires a manual backup operation.

A database backup will contain all gathered statistics.
