[cvsnt] Can I convert entire VSS database to CVS Repositoy ?

Wed Jun 23 02:59:02 BST 2004

Let me show you our SS' structure in our company:
- $/
  file1.txt
  file2.txt
  CONTROL
     file3.txt
     file4.txt
        MANAGEMENT
	      file5.txt
	      file6.txt
  UNCONTROL
     file7.txt

If we only convert project CONTROL and UNCONTROL, we will lose file1.txt and file2.txt.
Because of this problem, I want to convert entire VSS Database. 
So, what had I better do now? I have tried many ways but it is still there.

I converted our 2gb VSS database to CVSNT using vss2cvs.pl and ran into a
similar problem.  My solution was to create a batch file with each of the
main project roots.

It appears that VSS has a lot of problems when trying to do things on $/
For example, if you do a ssarc on $/ it works, but ssrestor won't accept $/
so as far as I can tell the backup is useless.  Same problem with vss2cvs.pl
as it uses ss.exe to get directories and it seems to not like $/

I made a batch file that called vss2cvs.pl with each main project, 

vss2cvs.pl vssproj=$/proj1
vss2cvs.pl vssproj=$/proj2
etc...

Worked fine and we have never looked back.  Everyone who complained about
switching are now die-hard cvs fans and have loaded it at home :-)

Hi,

I would rather convert entire VSS database instead of each VSS Project. What
had I better do ? I am attempting to try to convert entire VSS database, but
it cannot convert every projects belonged to. Help me please.
Thanks
