Re: VSS migration to...

if you look at "all the possible solutions available", you will never
choose because there are at least dozens and maybe more. my advice is
to evaluate systems until you find at most 3 that meet your known needs
(including future), then stop looking and pick one. unless you are
really, really special I don't think it would be difficult to come up
with three good candidates.

I'll even seed the flamewar: look at git, svn and perforce. like
gigantic systems that require multiple adminstrators? substitute
clearcase for one of the above. don't care about atomic commits and
speed of remote diffing? substitute cvs for one of the above.
