=head1 NAME

VCP::RevMapDB::sdbm - Persistant storage for id -> (name, rev_id) maps

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use VCP::RevMapDB::sdbm;
    VCP::RevMapDB::sdbm->new( File => "/path/to/db_file.db" );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

By default, most VCP::Dest::* drivers keep track of the relationship
between the id field assigned by the (original) VCP::Source::* driver
and the final name and rev_id (or whatever fields are important to it)
in the destination repository so that the previous_id fields, which
refer to the original id, may be resolved when backfilling or branching.

The VCP::*::revml drivers do not do this; they do not need to resolve id
fields.

The intent for this file is to serve as a default; individual sites
should be able to write their own RevMapDB plugins so that they can, for
instance, store this state in a RDBMS table.  This is not quite offered
at this time; we need to add an option to the appropriate VCP::Dest::*
modules to allow the appropriate RevMapDB file to be loaded.

To write your own RevMapDB file, copy this file and alter it.

=head1 LIMITATIONS

There is no way (yet) of telling the mapper to continue processing the
rules list.  We could implement labels like C< <<I<label>>> > to be
allowed before pattern expressions (but not between pattern and result),
and we could then impelement C< <<goto I<label>>> >.  And a C< <<next>>
> could be used to fall through to the next label.  All of which is
wonderful, but I want to gain some real world experience with the
current system and find a use case for gotos and fallthroughs before I
implement them.  This comment is here to solicit feedback :).
