Version 1.3.90 (git)

* Gracious handling of foreign destination directories
    
A destination directory is "foreign" if it is not a checkout (clone) of
the VCS that invoked a hook trying to update it.  By default, encountering
such directory aborts the update with the corresponding error message.
This behavior can be changed by setting the foreign-dir-mode configuration
statement to one of the following values:
    
  error
      Bail out; this is the default.

  remove
      Remove the offending directory and check it out from the VCS.

  rename
      Rename the offending directory and proceed with the checkout.

  archive
      Archive the offending directory, remove it and then proceed
      with the checkout. The command to create archive is set by
      the configuration statement "archive-command".

Version 1.3, 2021-02-18

* New configuration statement: sentinel

The "sentinel" statement declares the name of a file which, when
present in the destination directory, informs vcsync that this
directory is exempt from the normal synchronization process.  The
presense of the sentinel file is an indication that the destination
directory is updated by other means.

* Full documentation added


Version 1.2, 2021-02-16

* Use runcap module to run external processes.


Version 1.1, 2019-08-13

* Automatic VCS detection.

* Don't descend into internal VCS directories during the scan.


Version 1.0, 2019-07-24

Initial release.
