This handles syncing by setting up a master directory that is in sync with either a snapshot or the repository. Then it creates a copy of this master directory as a hardlink forest and the regenheaders.pl script is run (if found). Now the source-tree should be up to date and ready to be copied as a hardlink forest again, to its final destination.
Thanks to Nicholas Clark for donating this idea.
Keys for %args:
%args
* All keys from the other methods (depending on {fsync}) * fsync: which master sync method is to be used * mdir: master directory * fdir: intermediate directory (first hardlink forest)
sync() starts with a "traditional" sync according to {ftype} in {mdir}. It then creates a copy of {mdir} in {fdir} with hardlinks an tries to run the regen_headers.pl script in {fdir}. This directory should now contain an up to date (working) source-tree wich again using hardlinks is copied to the destination directory {ddir}.
