okay bestie, gather round, because this one is literally the editor that touches your svk checkout copies and she is booked and busy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

SVK::Editor::XD — an editor for modifying svk checkout copies 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

$editor = SVK::Editor::XD->new
    ( path => $path,
      target => $target,
      oldroot => $fs->revision_root ($fromrev),
      newroot => $fs->revision_root ($torev),
      xd => $xd,
      get_copath => sub { ... },
      get_path => sub { ... },
    );

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: SVK::Editor::XD modifies checkout copies that already exist, at the paths that get translated by the get_copath callback, and it does all of that according to the incoming editor calls. Meanwhile the path over in the depot gets translated with the get_path callback. Two translators, one iconic little editor, no cap 🫶

And she has two modes, because of course she does:

• One is for applying changes to a checkout copy as an external modification, like when you're merging changes. 😌
• The other is update mode, which is what brings changes from the depot over to the checkout copies. 🔥

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

On top of everything you'd pass to SVK::Editor::Checkout, you also get these:

• target — the target path of the editor calls. She uses it to decide whether the root's meta data needs updating in update mode. lowkey a decision-maker 💅
• xd — an SVK::XD object.
• oldroot — the old root, from before the editor calls happened.
• newroot — the new root, from after the editor calls happened.
• update — working in update mode. yes ma'am ⭐
• get_path — a callback that translates paths in editor calls into paths in the depot.
• ignore_keywords — don't do keyword translations (that's the svn:keywords property, iykyk).

---

🫶 friendly reminder that get_copath shows up in the synopsis and the description but not in this parameter list — she's inherited from SVK::Editor::Checkout, so don't come for her.
