NAME

VCP::Source::metadb - Read SCM metadata from a metadb file

SYNOPSIS

## Mostly used internally by the vcp filter and vcp transfer commands

DESCRIPTION

This source driver allows vcp to read a set of revisions from a metadata database written by VCP::Dest::metadb.

NOTE: passing a reference in the options array to new:

    $s = VCP::Source::metadb->new( $spec, [ $real_source ] );

sets the metadb's source to point to the real repository it should get revisions from. This should only be necessary for a transfer operation, as filtering does not need to access the source repository.
