# SVN::Repos(3perl)

Subversion repository functions

## NAME

SVN::Repos - Subversion repository functions

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use SVN::Core;
    use SVN::Repos;
    use SVN::Fs;
    my $repos = SVN::Repos::open('/path/to/repos');
    print $repos->fs()->youngest_rev;
```

## DESCRIPTION

SVN::Repos wraps the object-oriented `"svn_repos_t"` functions, providing access to a Subversion repository on the local filesystem.

### CONSTRUCTORS

- SVN::Repos::open($path)

  This function opens an existing repository, and returns an `"SVN::Repos"` object.

- create($path, undef, undef, $config, $fs\_config)

  This function creates a new repository, and returns an `"SVN::Repos"` object.

### METHODS

- $repos-\>dump\_fs($dump\_fh, $feedback\_fh, $start\_rev, $end\_rev, $incremental, $cancel\_callback)

  - $repos-\>dump\_fs2($dump\_fh, $feedback\_fh, $start\_rev, $end\_rev, $incremental, $deltify, $cancel\_callback)

  Create a dump file of the repository from revision `$start_rev` to `$end_rev` , store it into the filehandle `$dump_fh`, and write feedback on the progress of the operation to filehandle `$feedback_fh`.

  If `$incremental` is TRUE, the first revision dumped will be a diff against the previous revision (usually it looks like a full dump of the tree).

  If `$use_deltas` is TRUE, output only node properties which have changed relative to the previous contents, and output text contents as svndiff data against the previous contents.  Regardless of how this flag is set, the first revision of a non-incremental dump will be done with full plain text.  A dump with `@a` use\_deltas set cannot be loaded by Subversion 1.0.x.

  If `$cancel_callback` is not `"undef"`, it must be a code reference that is called periodically to determine whether the client wishes  to cancel the dump.  See "CANCELLATION CALLBACK" in SVN::Client for details.

  Example:

  ```
      use SVN::Core;
      use SVN::Repos;
      my $repos = SVN::Repos::open('/repo/sandbox');
      open my $fh, ">/tmp/tmp.dump" or die "Cannot open file: $!\n";
      my $start_rev   = 10;
      my $end_rev     = 20;
      my $incremental = 1;
      my $deltify     = 1;
      $repos->dump_fs2($fh, \*STDOUT,          # Dump file => $fh, Feedback => STDOUT
                       $start_rev, $end_rev,   # Revision Range
                       $incremental, $deltify, # Options
                       undef);                 # Cancel Callback
      close $fh;
  ```

- $repos-\>load\_fs($dumpfile\_fh, $feedback\_fh, $uuid\_action, $parent\_dir, $cancel\_callback);

  - $repos-\>load\_fs2($dumpfile\_fh, $feedback\_fh, $uuid\_action, $parent\_dir, $use\_pre\_commit\_hook, $use\_post\_commit\_hook, $cancel\_callback);

  Loads a dumpfile specified by the `$dumpfile_fh` filehandle into the repository. If the dumpstream contains copy history that is unavailable in the repository, an error will be thrown.

  The repository's UUID will be updated iff the dumpstream contains a UUID and `$uuid_action` is not equal to `$SVN::Repos::load_uuid_ignore` and either the repository contains no revisions or `$uuid_action` is equal to `$SVN::Repos::load_uuid_force`.

  If the dumpstream contains no UUID, then `$uuid_action` is ignored and the repository UUID is not touched.

  If `$parent_dir` is not null, then the parser will reparent all the loaded nodes, from root to `@a` parent\_dir.  The directory `$parent_dir` must be an existing directory in the repository.

  If `$use_pre_commit_hook` is set, call the repository's pre-commit hook before committing each loaded revision.

  If `$use_post_commit_hook` is set, call the repository's post-commit hook after committing each loaded revision.

  If `$cancel_callback` is not `"undef"`, it must be a code reference  that is called periodically to determine whether the client wishes to cancel the load.  See "CANCELLATION CALLBACK" in SVN::Client for details.

  You must at least provide `"undef"` for these parameters for the method call to work.

  Example:\
       use SVN::Core;\
       use SVN::Repos;

  ```
      my $repos = SVN::Repos::open('/repo/test_repo');
      open my $fh, "/repo/sandbox.dump" or die "Cannot open file: $!\n";
      my $parent_dir = '/';
      my $use_pre_commit_hook  = 0;
      my $use_post_commit_hook = 0;
      $repos->load_fs2($fh, \*STDOUT,
                       $SVN::Repos::load_uuid_ignore, # Ignore uuid
                       $parent_dir,
                       $use_pre_commit_hook,  # Use pre-commit hook?
                       $use_post_commit_hook, # Use post-commit hook?
                       undef, undef);
      close $fh;
  ```

- $repos-\>**fs()**

  Returns the `"SVN::Fs"` object for this repository.

- $repos-\>get\_logs(\[$path, ...\], $start, $end, $discover\_changed\_paths, $strict\_node\_history, $receiver)

  Iterates over all the revisions that affect the list of paths passed as the first parameter, starting at `$start`, and ending at `$end`.

  `$receiver` is called for each change.  The arguments to `$receiver` are:

  - $self

    The `"SVN::Repos"` object.

  - $paths

    `"undef"` if `$discover_changed_paths` is false.  Otherwise, contains a hash of paths that have changed in this revision.

  - $rev

    The revision this change occurred in.

  - $date

    The date and time the revision occurred.

  - $msg

    The log message associated with this revision.

  - $pool

    An `"SVN::Pool"` object which may be used in the function.

  If `$strict_node_history` is true then copies will not be traversed.
