( Basically , my users want this feature Is there any good reason really your users want this feature? Visual Source Safe uses a network share and it is miserably slow but in a LAN (at 100Mb...). Sometimes one would wish to access it a different way in a remote location. CVS is fully client-server and works very well even with very slow connections. Visual Source Safe 2005 can reach a repository via HTTP/HTTPS (I guess it uses SOAP, WebDAV or something alike...) but using the traditional Windows client, not via a web browser. There is really no need to use a tool like CVS via a browser, it could be clumsy at best. Especially without a "pessimistic locking" scenario. Sometimes user should understand that if everybody in marketing is shouting about "web clients" it does not mean it is the solution to everything, including pollution, cancer, war and death. Give them a web based word processor or spreadsheet and they will soon change their minds. CVS to work needs access to the local file. For example to update and merge a file, it has to get the local file, get the changes from the server and merge them. In a web scenario it would mean: 1) Send the file to be updated to the web server 2) On the web server, get the changes from the CVS repository and merge them 3) Send back the file to the client and store it locally. One would have files going back and forth the web server - do it with some large ones -, unless someone re-implements cvs in Javascript, Java applet or something alike. Compare it with the "normal" client: 1) Get the changes from the server 2) Merge them locally. > -- Is there any document about how we can migrate from VSS to CVSNT ? There is a perl script called vss2cvs.pl. You can find some informations about its use and problems found on the web. -- LDS
