Hi,
I’ve been reading through the archives trying to get a general idea on
label support in vss2svn. But it’s a little hard for a newbie to come
into this discussion and find the bottom line. I would be very
grateful if someone could summarize vss2svn’s current capabilities
regarding porting labels from vss.
Thanks very much,
Actually the support is very simple: When a label is detected, the state
of the archive is copied to the "label" directory. In this action the
full project path is maintained, e.g consider the following structure
$/
$/Project
$/Project/SubProject
And a label "rootlabel" is attached to the root project and a second
label "sublabel" is attached to the SubProject, you will find the
following structure in subversion
* label/rootlabel/ -> Project/SubProject
* label/sublabel/Project/ -> SubProject
This is done in order to solve the "Label promotion" feature of vss. If
you use the same label twice, they are considered the same. So in case,
when we hit the same label a second time, the state of the archive is
copied on top of the current label.
Does this make thinks clearer? I'm not a native speaker, so it is hard
to express this in english.
