SVK::Editor::Copy(3)

💖 NAME 💖

SVK::Editor::Copy — bestie, this thing turns editor calls into calls with history ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

$editor = SVK::Editor::Copy->new
  ( _editor => [$next_editor],
    copyboundry_root => $root,
    copyboundry_rev => \@possible_rev,
    src => $src,
    dst => $dst,
    cb_resolve_copy => sub {},
  );

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so. this is the magic editor. like, genuinely iconic behavior. it takes a whole series of history-unaware editor calls and glow-up-transforms them into history-aware ones. it's giving fairy godmother but for revision trees 💅

the main Subversion tree delta API SVN::Repos::dir_delta generates "expanded" editor calls — mostly so they can be used for editors that write to a checkout, or that show a diff. cool cool cool. but what we actually want is history-aware editor calls, because:

• we're replaying revisions that have copies in them 🦋
• we're displaying a diff for files that got copy-then-modified 📝

and that's exactly what this editor is here for. periodt.

also, heads up bestie: copyboundry_rev holds an array of possible points to be used as the copyfrom rev that needs resolving. but — and the original is very chill about this — the logic should be moved to the resolver. so, like, that's a note for future-you. don't come for me 🙈

---

ngl this page is short but it's highkey doing a lot. if you're messing with copyboundry_rev, remember the resolver relocation is a known thing, not a you-problem. iykyk 💀

okay bestie that's the whole vibe 💜 this was SVK::Editor::Copy(3), sitting pretty in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and it shipped with perl v5.42.0 dated 2025-07-25. obsessed with her, honestly. mwah 🫶🎀✨
