+== Caching Statistics ==
+
+To avoid retrieving the same data repeatedly from the repository,
+statistics is cahed in files located in `.svndigest`. Subsequent
+svndigest runs read the cache files and retrieve information from the
+repository only for the revisions that have been committed since the
+cache file was created. Obviously, it is important that the cache
+files reflect the history of the current working copy. If that is not
+the case, for example, if you have switched working copy using `svn
+switch`, you can make svndigest ignore the cache through option
+`--ignore-cache`.
