NAME

VCS::LibCVS::IgnoreChecker - Ask it if a file should be ignored.

SYNOPSIS

  my $ignorer = VCS::LibCVS::IgnoreChecker->new($repository);
  if ( $ignorer->ignore_check("dir1/file1") ) {

DESCRIPTION

CVS has an involved way of deciding which files should be ignored, and which shouldn't. Create an IgnoreChecker, and ask it if a file should be ignored.

The CVSROOT directory in the repository contains some information about what to ignore, so you'll need a Repository to create an IgnoreChecker.

See the CVS info page for which files are ignored.
