## NOTES

- •

  Since VCP is not currently available on CPAN, you could get a dist with fixes from \<http://wagner.elixus.org/~clkao/VCP-0.9-clkao.tar.gz\>

- •

  `"VCP::Dest::svk"` uses branch info to decide the path in the resulting repository.  So source repository with branches denoted by path names like Perforce should normalize the path name and branch info. see SVN::Mirror::VCP for example.
