Writing something is of course an option, using Java or Perl or whatever.
Would it be possible to modify the paths in the dumpfile, e.g. replace
/comp1/ with /comp1/trunk/? (I did not yet even dare to try to open the
dumpfile with an editor as it is of size 10 GB)
If i then load the dumpfile, would this give me what i want, i.e. repo
folders /comp1/trunk/100-Docs, /comp1/trunk/200-Code with all old VSS
history mirrored?
I already have said goodbye to the old "Vwhatever" branches and will go
for a clean slate start with yet-to-be-created new branches in the future,
but capturing the old VSS history for the compX/trunk folders is crucial.
