NAME
   File::Tree::Snapshot - Snapshot files in a git repository

SYNOPSIS
       use File::Tree::Snapshot;

       my $tree = File::Tree::Snapshot->new(
           storage_path => '/path/to/tree',
       );

       $tree->create
           unless $tree->exists;

       # modify files, see methods below

       $tree->commit;
       # or
       $tree->reset;

DESCRIPTION
   This module manages snapshots of file system trees by wrapping the "git"
   command line interface. It currently only manages generating the
   snapshots.

   The directories are standard Git repositories and can be accessed in the
   usual ways.

ATTRIBUTES
 storage_path
   The path to the tree that should hold the files that are snapshot. This
   attribute is required.

 allow_empty
   If this attribute is set to true, commits will be created even if no
   changes were registered.

METHODS
 new
       my $tree = File::Tree::Snapshot->new(%attributes);

   Constructor. See "ATTRIBUTES" for possible parameters.

 file
       my $path = $tree->file(@relative_path_parts_to_file);

   Takes a set of path parts and returns the path to the file inside the
   storage.

 open
       my $fh = $tree->open($mode, $file, %options);

   Opens a file within the storage. $mode is passed straight to "open" in
   perlfunc. The $file is a relative path inside the storage.

   Possible options are:

   *   "is_absolute"

       If set to true the $file will be assumed to already be an absolute
       path as returned by "file", instead of a path relative to the
       storage.

   *   "mkpath"

       Create the path to the file if it doesn't already exist.

 create
       $tree->create;

   Create the directory (if it doesn't exist yet) and initialize it as a
   Git repository.

 exists
       my $does_exist = $tree->exists;

   Returns true if the storage is an initialized Git repository.

 commit
   Will commit the changes made to the tree to the Git repository.

 reset
   Rolls back the changes since the last snapshot.
