Re: Need SVN -> VSS converter

One more thing,

Repository conversions are inherently twitchy and error-prone in the
best of circumstances (and going from SVN to VSS is not the best of
circumstances). You really might want to strongly consider (or
convince your boss to consider) leaving the SVN repository up and
just commit the head of your development tree to the new VSS
repository. It will be a pain to deal with diffs and history
searches that go across repository boundaries, but you'll know with
100% certainty that no data was lost or corrupted in the changeover.
Furthermore, over time the number of cross-repository checks that you
have to do will likely get asymptotically small.
