I still do have a lot of orphans. But is it possible, that they
actually get decent folder names now?
Like "orphaned/_RADBAAAA/bla/test/readme.txt"?
I think in the version of vss2svn that I had used, the filename would
have been:
"orphaned/_RADBAAAA/readme.txt"
Is this possible?
I don't know which version you used before, but I wouldn't expect this
behavoir. What you call a "decent folder name" is actually, that the
project "bla" is stored in RADBAAAA and that this project item is
orphaned. I can have childs and the childs have a valid parent, so they
are stored under the prohect bla. But bla itself is orphand, e.g. does
not have a parent at the moment, when it was created.
One of the major changes in the nightly builds was a better child parent
relationship detection. This could have removed the orphanes in your
case, and this could lead to a better structure in the layout.
And I have used analyze on the database, believe me. Hm, maybe I
shouldn't have destroyed the unneeded projects.
Destroying unneeded projects is ok. THis is the best way to go in order
to convert only singular projects. But you should use the "-d" switch
also and it is still possible that you will see a few orphans.
E.g. In my case I know that my 5 orphans where never part of the
projects that I wanted to convert. But I know, that they where branched
and shared in the projects that I had destroyed in order to clean up the
database. It looks to me, that in a delete will only delete direct
childs. In a branch situation the history of the main item and the
branch is stored in the same physical file until the branch point. the
reference count for this item is increased since it is used in the
history of another file. Now you delete the main project of the main
path. The main physical file remains, since it has a ref count > 1. Then
you will delete the project, where the branched item lives. For me it
seems, that only the branch physical item is deleted, and not the common
main physical item. So you will have this "main physical" item hanging
around. No more parent. THis file will end up as orphaned.
