# SVN::Simple::Edit(3pm)

A simple interface for driving svn delta editors

## NAME

SVN::Simple::Edit - A simple interface for driving svn delta editors

## SYNOPSIS

```
 my $edit = SVN::Simple::Edit->new
    (_editor => [SVN::Repos::get_commit_editor($repos, "file://$repospath",
                                      '/', 'root', 'FOO', \&committed)],
    );
 $edit->open_root($fs->youngest_rev);
 $edit->add_directory ('trunk');
 $edit->add_file ('trunk/filea');
 $edit->modify_file ("trunk/fileb", "content", $checksum);
 $edit->delete_entry ("trunk/filec");
 $edit->close_edit ();
 ...
 $edit->copy_directory ('branches/a, trunk, 0);
```

## DESCRIPTION

SVN::Simple::Edit wraps the subversion delta editor with a perl friendly interface and then you could easily drive it for describing changes to a tree. A common usage is to wrap the commit editor, so you could make commits to a subversion repository easily.

This also means you can not supply the `$edit` object as an delta\_editor to other API, and that's why this module is named **::Edit** instead of **::Editor**.

See SVN::Simple::Editor for simple interface implementing a delta editor.

## PARAMETERS

### for constructor

- \_editor

  The editor that will receive delta editor calls.

- missing\_handler

  Called when parent directory are not opened yet, could be:

  - \\&SVN::Simple::Edit::build\_missing

    Always build parents if you don't open them explicitly.

  - \\&SVN::Simple::Edit::open\_missing

    Always open the parents if you don't create them explicitly.

  - SVN::Simple::Edit::check\_missing (\[$root\])

    Check if the path exists on `$root`. Open it if so, otherwise create it.

- root

  The default root to use by SVN::Simple::Edit::check\_missing.

- base\_path

  The base path the edit object is created to send delta editor calls.

- noclose

  Do not close files or directories. This might make non-sorted operations on directories/files work.

## METHODS

Note: Don't expect all editors will work with operations not sorted in DFS order.

- open\_root ($base\_rev)

  - add\_directory ($path)

  - open\_directory ($path)

  - copy\_directory ($path, $from, $fromrev)

  - add\_file ($path)

  - open\_file ($path)

  - copy\_file ($path, $from, $fromrev)

  - delete\_entry ($path)

  - change\_dir\_prop ($path, $propname, $propvalue)

  - change\_file\_prop ($path, $propname, $propvalue)

  - close\_edit ()
