Hi all, This issue has already come up in the past in threads such as this one: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.vss2svn.user/1184
However, I'm starting a new thread as that one is pretty old, and I'm experiencing the problem for what I think are different reasons. I'm still working on getting this 18 or so GB VSS repository loaded in to SVN. I can get the repository mostly loaded, but several revisions get skipped. There could be several reasons each one of these revisions is skipped, but I thought I'd start by looking at the first one where a problem occurs: revision 613. Looking at the db, the VssAction for 613 is something like this: 18948||NAEAAAAA|5|COMMIT|/Production/System Documents/Monster Compile Environment Install Notes/MonsterCompileEnviron.doc ...snip... /Production/Subsystems/ISS/Components/Facilities Database/Documents/Monster Compile Environment/MonsterCompileEnviron.doc ...snip... /Production/Subsystems/EPSQ/Components/Print Utility/Documents/Monster Compile Environment/MonsterCompileEnviron.doc|2|1| The long and short of it is the file MonsterCompileEnviron.doc was shared to a bunch of different locations where it already existed. Upon checking the svn dump file, I find that every action in that revision was a 'change' except for /Production/Subsystems/ISS/Components/Facilities Database/Documents/Monster Compile Environment/MonsterCompileEnviron.doc, which is the file where svn load gives the error message: svnadmin: File already exists: filesystem 'dss/db', transaction '612-1', path 'Production/Subsystems/ISS/Components/Facilities Database/Documents/Monster Compile Environment/MonsterCompileEnviron.doc' In my error log from vss2svn I have this error message: ERROR -- Attempt to commit to non-existant file '/Production/Subsystems/ISS/Components/Facilities Database/Documents/Monster Compile Environment/MonsterCompileEnviron.doc' at revision 613, changing to add; possibly missing recover at /usr/local/bin/vss2svn.pl line 1030 So there you have it. It was changed from a 'change' to an 'add'. But I wonder why. I looked in the code, and this error occurs if Vss2Svn::Dumpfile::SanityChecker::exists() returns false for that path. But that path definitely does exist in the repository at revision 612. So I will have to do some digging to see if I can figure out why exists() is returning the wrong result.
