# implement an editor in perl
SVN::Repos::dir_delta($root1, $path, undef,
                      $root2, $path,
                      SVN::Delta::Editor->new(_debug=>1),

SVN::Delta wraps delta related function in subversion. The most important one is SVN::Delta::Editor, the interface for describing tree deltas. by default SVN::Delta::Editor relays method calls to its internal member "_editor", which could either be an editor in C (such as the one you get from get_commit_editor), or another SVN::Delta::Editor object.

If you want to drive a native editor (such as commit_editor obtained by SVN::Repos::get_commit_editor), create a SVN::Delta::Editor object with the native editor/baton pair. The object will then be ready to use and its method calls will be relayed to the native editor.

If you want to implement an editor, subclass SVN::Delta::Editor and implement the editors callbacks. see the METHODS section below.

Link to the native editor

You can also pass a hash array to new:

_debug
Turn on debug.
_editor
An arrayref of the editor/baton pair or another SVN::Delta::Editor object to link with.

Please consult the svn_delta.h section in the Subversion API. Member functions of svn_delta_editor_t could be called as methods of SVN::Delta::Editor objects, with the edit_baton omitted. The pool is also optional.

If you are subclassing, the methods take exactly the same arguments as the member functions (note that void ** are returned data though as throughout the perl bindings), with the edit_baton omitted.

Functions returning editor/baton pair should really be typemapped to a SVN::Delta::Editor object.
