VCS::LibCVS::Client::Request::ArgumentUsingRequests - Classes for many requests
my $ci_request = VCS::LibCVS::Client::Request::ci->new(); $client->submit_request($ci_request);
In the CVS client protocol, a request whose behaviour is modified by a previous Argument request is called an "Argument Using Request". Those requests have their classes defined here, along with a common superclass.
As Argument Requests are sent, they are saved for the next Argument Using Request, whose behaviour they modify. Once they've modified an Argument Using Request's behaviour they are forgotten, and will not affect any more requests.
The Argument Using Requests are recognizable as the familiar CVS commands: co, up, ci, add, etc.
VCS::LibCVS::Client::Request
A common superclass for all the Argument Using Requests. These requests take no Data, so their constructors do not need any arguments.
if ($request->uses_file_contents())
Returns true if this argument using request needs the contents of local copies of files to be sent to server. "commit" is such a request.
If this returns true, each local file should have a Modified or equivalent request issued for it, prior to issuing this request.
if ($request->uses_file_entry())
Returns true if this argument using request needs the Entry information for local files to be sent to server. This information includes revision information. "update" is such a request.
If this returns true, each local file should have an Entry request issued for it, prior to issuing this request.
This routine and uses_file_contents() are separate because the "tag" request doesn't need the file contents.
