VCI::Abstract::Directory - A directory in the repository.

This represents a directory, which can contain other directories and files.

VCI::Abstract::Directory implements VCI::Abstract::Committable and VCI::Abstract::FileContainer, so it has all of the methods available there, in addition to any methods listed in this documentation.

All these accessors are read-only.

name

In addition to what's specified in VCI::Abstract::Committable:

If this is the root directory of the project, this will just be an empty string.

path

In addition to what's specified in VCI::Abstract::Committable:

Root directories always have an "empty" Path. That is, the path is an empty string.

Usually you won't construct an instance of this class directly, but instead, use various methods of other modules that create Directory objects by interacting with the Project.

new

Takes all Accessors of this class, VCI::Abstract::Committable, and VCI::Abstract::FileContainer as named parameters. The following fields are required: path and project.

If you don't specify revision, VCI assumes you want an object representing the "latest" or "HEAD" revision of this Directory.
