VCS::SnapshotCM::Tools - Tools for SnapshotCM Version Control

SYNOPSIS

  use VCS::SnapshotCM::Tools;

  $vcs = VCS::SnapshotCM::Tools->new;

DESCRIPTION

VCS::SnapshotCM::Tools is a collection of tools to query information from the SnapshotCM version control system.

SnapshotCM is available from http://www.truebluesoftware.com.

This module is mainly used to implement the functionality required by the tools whistory and wannotate. It lacks documentation as well as lots of possible features. The interface may change in backwards-incompatible ways. Use at your own risk.
