/**
 * A trace of nested requests that are performed by the repository system. This trace information can be used to
 * correlate repository events with higher level operations in the application code that eventually caused the events. A
 * single trace can carry an arbitrary object as data which is meant to describe a request/operation that is currently
 * executed. For call hierarchies within the repository system itself, this data will usually be the {@code *Request}
 * object that is currently processed. When invoking methods on the repository system, client code may provide a request
 * trace that has been prepopulated with whatever data is useful for the application to indicate its state for later
 * evaluation when processing the repository events.
