<p><hr><h1><a name="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS
</a></h1><p>## Mostly used internally by the vcp filter and vcp transfer commands
<p><hr><h1><a name="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION
</a></h1><p>This source driver allows <a href="vcp.html">vcp</a> to read a set of revisions from
a metadata database written by VCP::Dest::metadb.
<p>NOTE: passing a reference in the options array to new:
<pre> $s = VCP::Source::metadb->new( $spec, [ $real_source ] );
</pre><p>sets the metadb's source to point to the real repository it should
get revisions from. This should only be necessary for a transfer
operation, as filtering does not need to access the source repository.
