Hi, all.

My migration is running without errors!  Woo hoo!  However...

When I compare the export of VSS to SVN, I found that all my files (or all the ones I've checked so far) have properties "svn:eol-style=native" and "svn:mime-type=text/plain". That's kind of a problem for MSI and EXE files (and several other types, but these are enough to prove the problem).

At what point in the process is this property being attached? I'm using Subversion 1.4.6, and running the migration on XP with a batch file, then exporting using TortoiseSVN 1.4.8. My vss2svn is rev 339.

My command line for the migration is:

%build%\vss2svn --ssphys %build%\ssphys.exe --vssdir %VSS% --revtimerange %revtimerange% --timing --verbose --auto_props "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Subversion\config" > migration.log


(build, vss and revtimerange are all valid values defined earlier in my batch file)

I can include my config if that will help, but I can say for sure that MSI and EXE are not contained in the file, and I do not have any other filename pattern which would match these files.

Anybody? I'm so close, I just need to correct this one problem and I can be done with VSS for good.

Hello Bruce,

I'm unfortunately not too familiar with the auto-props feature but I would suggest disabling it if rerunning without it is feasible. You should also check VSS itself to ensure that these files are not marked as text files there.

You should also note that in general, Subversion best practices recommend against keeping build artifacts such as .exe and .msi in the repository, so you may just want to remove them instead of fixing them unless your build/deployment process depends on them being there.

toby
