Hi,

Great project. I've been trying to port a medium size source safe
database for a month now, on and off, and tried couple of other
programs, but I'm still not done yet. One thing that I though would be
very useful in in your script is label support. So I tried the latest
nightly build. But it kept failing with the same:

WARNING: control character 0x12 in text input at character 14
not well-formed (invalid token) at line 23, column 24, byte 823 at
/PerlApp/XML/Parser.pm line 187

that other people have reported previously. I ran with the --debug and
- --verbose flags and I did find that one entry did have a suspicious
entry at the end:

    <CheckOut offset="416">
        <Comment>?</Comment>
        <ParentSpec></ParentSpec>
        <Computer></Computer>
        <Folder>ÓD`ôD`h`à</Folder>
        <User></User>
    </CheckOut>

I had ran the VSS analyze beforehand and corrected the (apparently)
benign errors it found, but figuring it was probably in the data I
proceeded to remove the file, re-run analyze (that now found potentially
serious errors) and run the conversion again with similar results. So I
decided that I should try the latest stable release (0.11.a1) and that
is still running, beyond the task (getphyshist) where the other failed.
Is the new approach more fragile, or am I expecting too much from a
nightly build?
Anyway, I need to get this done, with labels, but I'm thinking that
perhaps I can run the 0.11.a1 build and get the svn server in place, and
then when the label support is more stable, I can dump the subversion
database, cut the old stuff and splice the new vss2svn dump file with
the dump of the stuff added in subversion. That will also buy me more
time to help test the label support. I don't see why it wouldn't work
... anyone?

Thanks
