Thanks a lot Nathan, this should be a help for me. I didn't know about
the -o@ VSS option either, but heck, why not slow down the script even
more by writing all history output to a file? :) It'd be worth it to me
though not to introduce all those line breaks.
I'm not too interested in directory history comments since I just import
the entire directory structure to begin with. I can probably just ignore
the branch stuff, but the label stuff might be sorta tricky. What I
don't understand, though, is the lines with the filename embedded within
the asterisks. Do you get this sort of output when viewing the history
on only one file at a time (which is what my script does)? I had only
ever seen the *version number* in the asterisks line.
It would still probably help if I could see the entire output from a "ss
HISTORY" command of a single file which has file labels, inherited
parent directory labels, branches, and whatever else is possible. It
helps to see not only what can be output, but the order I can expect
them to appear in.
