NAME

ShipIt::VC -- abstract base class for version control systems

SYNOPSIS

 # done for you, elsewhere
 ... ShipIt::VC->new($conf)

 # get your instance from your state handle:
 $vc = $state->vc;

 # then
 $vc->commit($msg);
 $vc->tag_version("1.25"[, $msg]);
 $vc->exists_tagged_version("1.25"); # 1
 $vc->local_diff("ChangeLog");       # returns diff of changelog

OVERVIEW

ShipIt::VC is an abstract base class, with a factory method 'new' to return a subclass instance for the version control system detected to be in use.

Rather than using 'new' directly, you should call your ShipIt::State $state's "vc" accessor method, which returns a memoized (er, singleton) instance of ShipIt::VC->new.
