Git::FastExport::Block - A block in a fast-export stream
version 0.108
This package is used internally by Git::FastExport.
Git::FastExport::Block represents blocks from a git fast-export stream.
Internally, it is a simple hash with keys pointing either to a string or a reference to an array of strings, which makes it very easy to edit (when obtained via Git::FastExport next_block() method) or create blocks in a git fast-export stream.
next_block()
The following two keys are pointing to strings:
header
first line of the block
data
content of the block data section
All the other keys are pointing to references to arrays of strings (each string representing a line in the fast-export stream:
mark
author
commiter
from
merge
files
tagger
Of course, which keys are present depend on the type of the block, which is conveniently stored in the type key.
type
All other keys are ignored by "as_string".
"as_string"
A Git::FastExport::Block structure is meant to be used as a hash, and is not protected by an accessor/mutator interface. Or a constructor.
However, the module provides a method for outputing blocks:
print $block->as_string;
Return the block as a string suitable for git fast-import.
The original version of this module was created as part of my work for BOOKING.COM, which authorized its publication/distribution under the same terms as Perl itself.
