# Git::SVN::Utils(3pm)

utility functions used across Git::SVN

## NAME

Git::SVN::Utils - utility functions used across Git::SVN

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Git::SVN::Utils qw(functions to import);
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module contains functions which are useful across many different parts of Git::SVN.  Mostly it's a place to put utility functions rather than duplicate the code or have classes grabbing at other classes.

## FUNCTIONS

All functions can be imported only on request.

*fatal*

```
    fatal(@message);
```

Display a message and exit with a fatal error code.

*can\_compress*

```
    my $can_compress = can_compress;
```

Returns true if Compress::Zlib is available, false otherwise.

*canonicalize\_path*

```
    my $canoncalized_path = canonicalize_path($path);
```

Converts `$path` into a canonical form which is safe to pass to the SVN API as a file path.

*canonicalize\_url*

```
    my $canonicalized_url = canonicalize_url($url);
```

Converts `$url` into a canonical form which is safe to pass to the SVN API as a URL.

*join\_paths*

```
    my $new_path = join_paths(@paths);
```

Appends `@paths` together into a single path.  Any empty paths are ignored.

*add\_path\_to\_url*

```
    my $new_url = add_path_to_url($url, $path);
```

Appends `$path` onto the `$url`.  If `$path` is empty, `$url` is returned unchanged.
