SYNOPSIS

use VcsTools::DataSpec::Rcs qw($description readHook);

my $ds = new VcsTools::LogParser 
 (
  readHook => \&readHook,
  description => $description
 ) ;

DESCRIPTION

This class contains all the custom information needed to retrieve data from an RCS log using the generic VcsTools::LogParser class.

The $description hash ref defines the informations that are contained in the log of each version of the RCS file.

This class can be used as a template for other VCS systems and other needs.

The readHook is used to find the first revision of a branch. For instance a branch is named 1.5.1 in the VCS history, the readHook will find that the actual first revision of the branch is 1.5.1.1.
