Perl code and documentation for <b>RevML</b> (Revision Markup
Language).  RevML is an XML document type intended for the
representation of file revisions, such as those managed by Perforce,
or other version control and configuration management systems. RevML
provides a generic way to represent revisions (apart from any
particular version control or SCM tool's format). It forms the basis
for other tools that operate on file revisions.  One such tool is
<b>vcp</b> (for "Versioned Copy", included in the RevML distribution),
which allows file revisions to be interchanged between repositories of
either the same or different types.  For example, using vcp, it is
possible to copy the contents of a portion of a Perforce depot into a
depot on a different Perforce server; or, to copy the contents of a
CVS repository into a Perforce server (or vice-versa).

<p>
High-level documentation for RevML and vcp is currently rather sparse.
(Contributors are cordially invited to add documentation!)

<p>
The perl files in bin/... and lib/... are self-documented using perl
"pod" embedded documents. Please see the "perlpod" man page from your
perl distribution if you are not familiar with this format.

<p>
Please refer to the following files from the distribution for more information:

<ul>
<li><b><a href=README>README</a></b>

#9 5504 gerry Point to VCP executables.
#8 4504 Barrie Slaymaker - remove CPAN info from index.html
#7 1996 Barrie Slaymaker Refer to the vcp.pl "fat" distribution
#6 1995 Barrie Slaymaker Improve links to source directory
       Move documentation info above source code browsing info
       Show how to get command line help and how to
       generate local HTML documentation
#5 1994 Barrie Slaymaker Make VCP the primary subject of the page instead of RevML.
       Point to the HTML docs in the repository browser.
#4 1992 Barrie Slaymaker Add VSS notification.
#3 1155 rmg The change to utils/index.html was required to get the page
       to render better with Netscape 6.2. (Without the closing </B>
       tags, the whole page from the Depot Browsers section on down
       rendered bold...!)

       I made the same logical change to the other four for consistency,
       though they didn't seem to suffer from the same problem.

       p4dti/index.html still doesn't render right under Netscape 6.2,
       but it's from a different patterns and I couldn't see a quick
       clean fix... so I didn't mess with it for now.
#2 776 rmg Adjust the revml index (per feedback from barries and others)
and point the top level index link at it.
#1 775 rmg First cut index page for RevML.
