speedbar: Version Control
6.3 Version Control
===================
When using the file mode in speedbar, information regarding a version
control system adds small details to the display. If a file is in a
version control system, and is “checked out” or “locked” locally, an
asterisk ‘*’ appears at the end of the file name. In addition, the
directory name for Version Control systems are left out of the speedbar
display.
You can easily add new version control systems into speedbar’s
detection scheme. To make a directory “disappear” from the list, use
the variable ‘speedbar-directory-unshown-regexp’.
Next, you need to write entries for two hooks. The first is
‘speedbar-vc-path-enable-hook’ which will enable a VC check in the
current directory for the group of files being checked. Your hook
function should take one parameter (the directory to check) and return
‘t’ if your VC method is in control here.
The second function is ‘speedbar-vc-in-control-hook’. This hook
takes two parameters, the PATH of the file to check, and the FILE name.
Return ‘t’ if you want to have the asterisk placed near this file.
Lastly, you can change the VC indicator using the variable
‘speedbar-vc-indicator’, and specify a single character string.
