Dear friends,
I'm now testing the vss2svn (as .exe program, not .pl) and migrating a
very small (some MBs) VSS test-repository, Version 6.0.
The vss2svn reports first "Warning: Unknown Action RestoreProject".
After the migration and after I loaded the dump file into Subversion,
I see, that all but entire VSS-content is now under /orphaned in
Subversion.
You probably created your test repository by exporting a project and
importing this into a test database... vss2svn doesn't work very well
like that - you're better off with a SourceSafe database that doesn't
have archive/restore actions in its history. If necessary due to large
database size, destroy all except the project you want to test with on a
backup of the database and to a test conversion on that.
Also the Alpha that looks like its the one you want is very old and very
fragile, and doesn't cope well with any "complicated" actions on files
or projects. Many of the "nightly" builds are much more stable and
reliable in my experience, particularly for SourceSafe databases that
have had anything other than a trivial version history.
