SVN::Look - Caching wrapper around the svnlook command

version 0.43

  use SVN::Look;
  my $revlook = SVN::Look->new('/repo/path', -r => 123);
  my $author  = $revlook->author();
  my $msg     = $revlook->log_msg();
  my @added_files   = $revlook->added();
  my @updated_files = $revlook->updated();
  my @deleted_files = $revlook->deleted();
  my @changed_files = $revlook->changed();
  my $file_contents = $revlook->cat('/path/to/file/in/repository');
  my $trxlook = SVN::Look->new('/repo/path', -t => 123);

The svnlook command is the workhorse of Subversion hook scripts, being used to gather all sorts of information about a repository, its revisions, and its transactions. This module provides a simple object oriented interface to a specific svnlook invocation, to make it easier to hook writers to get and use the information they need. Moreover, all the information gathered by calling the svnlook command is cached in the object, avoiding repetitious calls.

new REPO [, WHAT, NUMBER]

The SVN::Look constructor needs one or three arguments:

repo

Returns the repository path that was passed to the constructor.

txn

Returns the transaction number that was passed to the constructor. If none was passed, returns undef.

rev

Returns the revision number that was passed to the constructor. If none was passed, returns undef.

author

Returns the author of the revision/transaction.

cat PATH

Returns the contents of the file at PATH. In scalar context, return the whole contents in a single string. In list context returns a list of chomped lines.

changed_hash

Returns a reference to a hash containing information about all file changes occurred in the revision. The hash always has the following keys:

A list of files added in the revision.
A list of files deleted in the revision.
A list of files updated in the revision.
A list of files that had properties modified in the revision.
A hash containing information about each file or diretory copied in the revision. The hash keys are the names of elements copied to. The value associated with a key is a two-element array containing the name of the element copied from and the specific revision from which it was copied.

added

Returns the list of files added in the revision/transaction.

updated

Returns the list of files updated in the revision/transaction.

deleted

Returns the list of files deleted in the revision/transaction.

prop_modified

Returns the list of files that had properties modified in the revision/transaction.

changed

Returns the list of all files added, updated, deleted, and the ones that had properties modified in the revision/transaction.

copied_to

Returns the list of new names of files that were copied in the revision/transaction.

copied_from

Returns the list of original names of files that were copied in the revision/transaction. The order of this list is guaranteed to agree with the order generated by the method copied_to.

date

Returns the date of the revision/transaction.

diff [OPTS, ...]

Returns the GNU-style diffs of changed files and properties. There are three optional options that can be passed as strings:

"--no-diff-deleted"
Do not print differences for deleted files
"--no-diff-added"
Do not print differences for added files.
"--diff-copy-from"
Print differences against the copy source.

In scalar context, return the whole diff in a single string. In list context returns a list of chomped lines.

dirs_changed

Returns the list of directories changed in the revision/transaction.

filesize PATH

Returns the size (in bytes) of the file located at PATH as it is represented in the repository.

info

Returns the author, datestamp, log message size, and log message of the revision/transaction.

lock PATH

If PATH has a lock, returns a hash containing information about the lock, with the following keys:

A string with the opaque lock token.
The name of the user that has the lock.
The time at which the lock was created, in a format like this: '2010-02-16 17:23:08 -0200 (Tue, 16 Feb 2010)'.
The lock comment.

If PATH has no lock, returns undef.

log_msg

Returns the log message of the revision/transaction.

propget PROPNAME PATH

Returns the value of PROPNAME in PATH.

proplist PATH

Returns a reference to a hash containing the properties associated with PATH.

tree [PATH_IN_REPOS, OPTS, ...]

Returns the repository tree as a list of paths, starting at PATH_IN_REPOS (if supplied, at the root of the tree otherwise), optionally showing node revision ids.

"--full-paths"
show full paths instead of indenting them.
"--show-ids"
Returns the node revision ids for each path.
"--non-recursive"
Operate on single directory only.

uuid

Returns the repository's UUID.

youngest

Returns the repository's youngest revision number.
