# cli_checkRepoDirSource.sh -- This function standardizes the path
# construction to directories inside the working copy, using absolute
# paths. This function transforms relative paths passed as non-option
# arguments to centos-art.sh script command-line into absolute paths
# inside the working copy based on whether you are using Subversion or
# Git as version control system. Further verifications, (e.g., whether
# they really exist as directories inside the working copy or not)
# should be realized outside this function.
#
# NOTE: Transforming relative paths into absolute paths before
# processing them is very useful when you need to execute the
# centos-art.sh script as command (e.g., `centos-art') anywhere
# inside the workstation.
#
# Use this function whenever you need to be sure that non-option
# arguments passed to centos-art.sh script command-line will always
# point to directories inside the working copy.

# Remove any dot from arguments passed to centos-art.sh script.
# This way it is possible to use a single dot to reflect the
# current location from which centos-art.sh was executed. Notice
# that using a dot as argument is optional (e.g.: when you pass no
# argument to centos-art command-line, the current location is
# used as default location). However, it might be useful to use a
# dot as argument when you want to include the current location in
# a list of arguments to process.
LOCATION=$(echo "$LOCATION" | sed -r "s,^\.$,$(pwd),g")
# Remove the working directory absolute path from location to
# avoid path duplications here.

# When we use Subversion as version control system, we follow the
# `trunk', `branches', `tags' convention to organize files inside
# the repository and need to redefine the source path in order to
# build repository absolute path from repository's top level on.
#
# As we are removing the absolute path prefix (e.g.,
# `/home/centos/artwork/') from all centos-art.sh output (in order
# to save horizontal output space), we need to be sure that all
# strings beginning with `trunk/...', `branches/...', and
# `tags/...' use the correct absolute path. That is, you can refer
# trunk's entries using both `/home/centos/artwork/trunk/...' or
# just `trunk/...', the `/home/centos/artwork/' part is
# automatically added here.
#
# When we use Git as version control system, there isn't a need of
# using the `trunk', `branches', `tags' convention we were using
# for Subversion. Instead, we use a Git remote branch named
# `develop' to do most of the work. Then, when we have something
# functional in `develop' branch, we merge `develop' branch into
# the `master' branch (probably doing a rebase on master branch).
#
# There isn't a need of verifying the paths built here. This is
# something we do later, using the cli_checkFiles function. We
# don't do the file verification here to avoid malformed error
# messages when we reassign variable values using this function as
# reference (e.g., in order to prevent error messages to be also
# stored inside variables.).
LOCATION=${TCAR_WORKDIR}/${LOCATION}
# Output the absolute path to location.
