There's an issue open about that (not clearing everything but only for
selected repositories).

Most users only refresh to see if there are new commits available,
*not* to refresh the cache (heck, most users won't even notice that we
cache stuff now, apart of course from the speedup).
I suggest that to refresh the cache, we don't do this with a normal F5
but maybe with a Ctrl-F5 refresh - otherwise only check for new
revisions.
