Test::Smoke::Syncer::Forest

This handles syncing by setting up a master directory that is in sync with either a snapshot or the repository. Then it creates a copy of this master directory as a hardlink forest and the regenheaders.pl script is run (if found). Now the source-tree should be up to date and ready to be copied as a hardlink forest again, to its final destination.

Thanks to Nicholas Clark for donating this idea.

Test::Smoke::Syncer::Forest->new( %args )

Keys for %args:

* All keys from the other methods (depending on {fsync})
* fsync: which master sync method is to be used
* mdir:  master directory
* fdir:  intermediate directory (first hardlink forest)

$syncer->sync( )

sync() starts with a "traditional" sync according to {ftype} in {mdir}. It then creates a copy of {mdir} in {fdir} with hardlinks an tries to run the regen_headers.pl script in {fdir}. This directory should now contain an up to date (working) source-tree wich again using hardlinks is copied to the destination directory {ddir}.
