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( $dir ); DESCRIPTION I find myself doing exclusion of CVS or Subversion directories over and over again in almost every major FFR thing I write. File::Find::Rule::VCS provides methods to exclude the version control directories of several major Version Control Systems. Initially, this is just CVS and Subversion, but if you have an snippit of FFR code for any other VCS, I'd be happy to take and include it. METHODS ignore_vcs($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'. The use of none, 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 SUPPORT Bugs should always be submitted via the CPAN bug tracker For other issues, contact the maintainer AUTHOR Adam Kennedy (Maintainer), , cpan@ali.as SEE ALSO File::Find::Rule COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2005 Adam Kennedy.
