HIDESVN(1) BSD General Commands Manual HIDESVN(1)NAMEhidesvn — hide version control system data directories
SYNOPSIShidesvn command ...
DESCRIPTION
The hidesvn command can be prefixed to any commands to hide .git, .hg,
.svn and CVS directories from calls to readdir() and readdir_r(). This
is especially useful when using commands like grep(1) to search in direc‐
tories recursively, but want to exclude any data files from version con‐
trol systems from the results.
SEE ALSOreaddir(3), readdir_r(3), rtld(1)BUGS
Because this application only changes the behaviour of readdir() and
readdir_r(), applications that use functions like seekdir() and telldir()
may get confused.
Because hidesvn uses LD_PRELOAD to preload a library, hidesvn will not
work with setuid applications.
