Just let me know if you can think of anything that I should try or
lookup. I'll keep looking in the meantime.
In case of a destroy you can't do anything. The file is really purged
and there is no way to retrieve the state of the archive earlier than
the destroy. Not in VSS and not in subversion. In VSS you can go back to
each file and try to grep earlier version individually.
The only solution is to use the "lost+found" szenario for the
conversion. But this is still a little to go. Not much, but a little. It
all depends on an apropriate name conflict resolution algorithm. I could
add all "lost+found" physical files with the name of the physical file
to a lost+found folder. Then we won't have any conflict. But this is
ugly in some way. If I add them with the last name, we can get conflicts
if we find two files with the same name.
And one thing must be changed in the converter also: We must be able to
create the lost+found directory when we find the first file. When I last
tried something similar with the "labels" directory I didn't found a
fast solution.
