Thank you for the awesome tool, vss2svn! It has come a long way since the last time I tried to convert VSS about a year ago.
My current problem is that after conversion I tried to reorganize the project but I noticed that all files were modified in their entirety, which "breaks" annotate support. At first I thought that svn's mv command was not working well, but I realized after looking at the internal ".svn/text-base" files and the dumpfile that the files were in CRLF format. What was happening is that after applying autoprops (eol-style native and keywords to expand), all lines were modified. It seems that with the dumpfile generated from vss2svn, the CRLFs are in there so there is no interpretation from SVN's `svnadmin load`, but the first time you touch/commit the file in any way it applies the rules and changes all lines. I noticed in the dumpfile that it appears that whenever the file is added the CRs are removed, but on change actions the CRs are in the file. I don't think I can just remove all CRs from the file because of the content-length headers and because of binary content. I tried to look at the source, but I don't know Perl so I couldn't figure out if there is some conversion function being applied in adds but not changes. Maybe the data comes right from the ssphys? I am running vss2svn from SVN on a Ubuntu GNU/Linux system where I have compiled the Perl and ssphys code. I don't know if this affects the CRLF problems. I used revision r317 from a few days ago. I haven't rerun since leudi's changes up to r321. (BTW vss2svn runs many times faster on Linux server than Windows desktop, and orders of magnitude on tmpfs -- by which I mean I take 3 minutes instead of 4 hours to convert, so if anyone reads this it's worth compiling on Linux!) OK, so there are 3 routes I see here: * Is there some way to modify the dumpfile to remove CRs safely? * Can I get help with vss2svn source to filter out CRs on text files? * Is there some magic I can do with the autoprops to get SVN to not think the entire repository changed when I move the root?
