Subject: Re: VSS to SVN: Is there a script to do this????
Actually, I did use the version from the trunk. Google referred me to
the
repository directly, so I checked it out to a local folder and tried it.
Here's how it went, as best I can recall. My first attempt failed and
pointed me to some deleted entries in VSS ( syntax: ~ then GUID then _
then
filename, if I remember correctly). I purged all the deleted entries I
could
find and started over. I got a successful dump, so I tried to load it.
The
load failed on a sub-folder that was also a sub-project, so perhaps the
failure is a clash of some kind. The dump file had
"/SolutionName/ProjectName" and "/SolutionName/ProjectName/". Svnadmin
refused to load because the directory was already defined, so I removed
the
second entry. I think I got another error from svnadmin (must be getting
old), and I then removed all trailing slashes from the dump file. I
can't
say I *HAD TO* remove them, but it worked once I did.
**IF** I can find time, I will re-create this and report back in more
detail.
Hope that helps,
Kevin
