I was wondering if and how vss2svn carries the date from vss over to
svn. I am using VSSMigrate, not vss2svn, since I know c++ and do not
know any perl. VSSMigrate does not carry over the date history and
instead revision dates are derived from the day they were added to
svn--notf the day they were added/changed in vss.
Is there an option to the svn commit command that lets you change the
date?
No, there is not an option in the svn commit command; we accomplish this
by generating a dumpfile (which contains the commit dates) rather than
using the svn.exe command. However, since the timestamp is stored in the
special revision property "svn:date" for each revision, it is possible
to modify it after the fact:
svn propset --revprop -rHEAD svn:date 2006-11-28T21:11:32.747797Z <URL>
In order to modify revprops, you must have the "pre-revprop-change" hook
script in place. And you also need to make sure that, after modifying
timestamps, they are still in chronological order, otherwise certain
date-specific functions such as "blame" or date-based checkouts won't work.
