Re: Need advice on how to create copy subversion files to SourceSafe

Well,

Here is what I ended up doing.

I call "svn log -r 397:HEAD -v -xml > svn2vss.xml"

I then wrote a program which analyzes the xml file and creates a .bat
file which call VSS with the proper settings to add/delete/update a
file. It doesn't handle the newline characters inside a comment properly
(I don't know how to have newline characters inside a .bat file)

I then run the resulting bat file. Figuring out how VSS works from the
command line is a bitch. You have to use 'cp' (change project) all the
time has it can't figure it out on its own.

Beside that, I am now able to update a Visual Source Safe database from
subversion. Thank god I don't have to deal with the reverse problem :-)
