p5-SVN-Dumpfile

Perl extension to access and manipulate Subversion dumpfiles

SVN::Dumpfile represents a Subversion dumpfile. It provides methods to read existing and write modified or new dumpfiles. It supports dumpfiles with the version number 1 - 3 but was written in a tolerant way to also support newer versions as long no major changes are made. This module is a OO redesign and generalisation of SVN::Dumpfilter v0.21. Newer versions of SVN::Dumpfilter are using it to access the input and output dumpfiles. The ability to create new dumpfiles sets it apart from the similar module SVN::Dump. The submodule SVN::Dumpfile::Node::Properties also allows the processing of Subversion revision property files (i.e. the files lying in the $REPOSITORY/db/revprops/ directory holding the author, date and log entry of every revision).
