# SVK::Editor::Rename(3pm)

An editor that translates editor calls for renamed entries

## NAME

SVK::Editor::Rename - An editor that translates editor calls for renamed entries

## SYNOPSIS

```
  $editor = SVK::Editor::Rename->new
    ( editor => $next_editor,
      rename_map => \@rename_map
    );
```

## DESCRIPTION

Given the rename\_map, which is a list of \[from, to\] pairs for translating path in editor calls, `"SVK::Editor::Rename"` serialize the calls and rearrange them for making proper calls to `$next_editor`.

The translation of pathnames is done with iterating through the `@rename_map`, translate with the first match. Translation is redone untill no match is found.

`"SVK::Editor::Rename"` is a subclass of `"SVK::Editor::Patch"`, which serailizes incoming editor calls. Each baton opened is recorded in `"$self-"`{opened\_baton}\>, which could be use to lookup with path names.

When a path is opened that should be renamed, it's recorded in `"$self-"`{renamed\_anchor}\> for reanchoring the renamed result to proper parent directory before calls are emitted to `$next_editor`.
