Version Control API - An interface to version control systems whose functionality is provided by pluggable back-end modules.

SHORT DESCRIPTION

This is a pure API module, providing functions for interfacing with version control systems (VCS). In order to work, Version Control API needs at least one VCS backend module that provides the specific VCS's functionality.

For the API documentation, have a look at the module file or run doxygen/phpdoc on it to get a fancier version of the docs. The provided hooks for API users are documented in hook_versioncontrol.php while backend authors find an example backend module in the versioncontrol_fakecvs directory.

In subdirectories, you can find three modules that extend the basic administration functionality of Version Control API with additional functionality:

• Commit Log displays a history of commits and sends out notification mails to the version control administrator.
• Commit Restrictions grants or denies repository access based on path, branch or tag.
• Version Control Account Status requires users to submit motivation texts and meet approval of version control administrators before their VCS account is enabled.

Have a look at the OVERVIEW.txt file for a basic introduction into concepts, forms and API of this module.

Some code in Version Control API was taken from the CVS integration module on drupal.org, its authors deserve a lot of credits and may also hold copyright for parts of this module.

This module was originally created as part of Google Summer of Code 2007, so Google deserves some credits for making this possible. Thanks also to Derek Wright (dww) and Andy Kirkham (AjK) for mentoring the Summer of Code project.
