  # NAME
  
  under-version-control - is an IO::Path under version control?
  
  # SYNOPSIS
  
  ```
  use under-version-control;
  
  say "current directory is under version control"
    if ".".IO.&under-version-control;
  
  say "file 'foo.bar' is under version control"
    if under-version-control "foo.bar".IO;
  
  ```
  
  # DESCRIPTION
  
  under::version::control provides a subroutine that returns True if the argument appears to be under version control.
  
  This is currently defined as it having a sibling ".git" directory, or any of its parents having a ".git" directory.
  
  Intended to be used by CLI scripts before they do massive changes on a file system: being under version control provides a bigger chance of reversibility if something went wrong.
  
  # SEE ALSO
  
  For more fine-grained control on whether a path is under version control, you can also use the [`Git::Files`](https://raku.land/zef:lizmat/Git::Files) distribution for that, or the git related functions in [`path-utils`](https://raku.land/zef:lizmat/path-utils).
