RE: VSS to git conversion
I did find something that converts straight from VSS to git. And it has shown itself to be quick. Though the way I used VSS has some deeply nested projects. This tool is putting everything that deep, leaving a lot of blank folders to move through. https://github.com/trevorr/vss2git Though I haven't worked out how to catch and put in the FoxBin2PRG conversion of the binary files yet. Have a look. I know it will make my life somewhat easier. It keeps all the history.

Did you mean to say that you ARE or ARE NOT using FoxBin2PRG? I'd think you would have to use it to achieve the non-binary source code control process.

RE: VSS to git conversion
Mike, In the VSS repository we are not currently using FoxBin2PRG. We want to use it in the git repository, keeping the binaries out of it.
