NAME

SVN::Rami - Automates merging to multiple branches

SYNOPSIS

Used by the script rami. This is not (yet) a stand-alone module.

SUBROUTINES

This module is only intended to be used by the script rami. There are a few publicly available subroutines, but they are not guaranteed to be compatible between revisions.

windows_safe_remove_tree

windows_safe_remove_tree "foo/bar", "c:\\temp"

This function is still in beta. Removes a directory and all its sub-directories. Same as File::Path::remove_tree, but provides a work-around for a Windows issue involving very long filenames. Works on all operating systems, not just Windows.

Statement of the problem

On Windows it is possible to create files that have more than MAX_PATH=260 characters, but Windows will report errors when you try to delete them. If you try to delete them manually, you might see this error message: "The source file names are larger than is supported by the file system". If you try to delete the files with File::Path::remove_tree, you might see this error message: "cannot remove directory for [...]: Directory not empty".

Existing work-arounds

Besides this function, many work-arounds have been proposed. See:
