NAME
File::Find::Rule::VCS - Exclude files/directories for Version Control Systems
SYNOPSIS
use File::Find::Rule ();
use File::Find::Rule::VCS ();
# Find all files smaller than 10k, ignoring any CVS files/dirs
my @files = File::Find::Rule->ignore_cvs
->file
->size('<10Ki')
->in( $dir );DESCRIPTION
I find myself doing exclusion of CVS or Subversion directories over and over again in almost every major FFR thing I write.
File::Find::Rule::VCS provides methods to exclude the version control directories of several major Version Control Systems. Initially, this is just CVS and Subversion, but if you have an snippit of FFR code for any other VCS, I'd be happy to take and include it.
METHODS
ignore_vcs
$FFR_object->ignore_vcs($vcsname);The ignore_vcs method excludes the files for a named Version Control System from your File::Find::Rule search. The name of the VCS is case in-sensitive.
Names currently supported are 'cvs', 'svn' and 'subversion'.
As a convenience for high-level APIs, if the VCS name is the defined null string '' then the call will be treated as a nullop.
The use of no param, or of undef, or any other name, will throw an exception.
ignore_cvs
The ignore_cvs method excluding all CVS directories from your File::Find::Rule search.
It will also exclude all the files left around by CVS after an automated merge that start with '.#' (dot-hash).
ignore_svn
The ignore_svn method excluding all Subversion (.svn) directories from your File::Find::Rule search.
TO DO
- Add support for other version control systems.
- Add other useful VCS-related methods
