Title: Revision History Lost

I have a fairly small VSS database (3.5MB, 2 projects, 1 user).  When I ran Analyze, it found no errors.


I'm using Vista Ultimate, in case that's significant.


When I ran vss2svn (0.11.0 Alpha 1), there was an abundance of errors:

* could not find ParserDetails.ini in /PerlApp/XML/SAX

* BUILDACTIONHIST:  2 of the form

   Attempt to add entry 'XDAAAAAA' with unknown version number (probably destroyed)

at vss2svn.pl line 706

* IMPORTSVN:  3 of the form

ssphys: no file delta record found for check-in action (probably item did not retained old versions of itself)

Try `ssphys --help` for more information

   FAILED with non-zero exit status 255

at vss2svn.pl line 1092

* IMPORTSVN:  1 of the form

   Attempt to re-add directory '/' at revision 1, skipping action: possibly missing delete

at vss2svn.pl line 851

* IMPORTSVN:  478 of the form

   Could not open export file './_vss2svn/vssdata/CA/CAAAAAAA.1'

at vss2svn.pl line 851

VSS Actions read        : 708

SVN Revisions converted : 334


I then tried the most recent nightly build (30-Apr-2008).  It produced a much shorter list of errors (lines beginning with ## were added from command output):

BUILDACTIONHIST:

   Attempt to add entry 'XDAAAAAA' with unknown version number (probably destroyed) parent: CCAAAAAA itemtype: 2

at vss2svn.pl line 1107

   Attempt to add entry 'DGAAAAAA' with unknown version number (probably destroyed) parent: AAAAAAAA itemtype: 1

at vss2svn.pl line 1107

IMPORTSVN:

svnadmin load ran with no errors or warnings.


Unfortunately, when I attempted to compare different versions of files in the svn repository, only the head version had any content.  Earlier versions had log entries but no content.  When I looked at the dumpfile, it too seemed to contain only one version of each file.


Here is my vss2svn command:

       vss2svn --vssdir "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS" > vss2svn.log


And here is my svnadmin load command:

       set svnadmin="C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svnadmin.exe"

       set repos="C:\svn\OmniumVB"

       set dumpfile="C:\Users\shadow\Downloads\Subversion\vss2svn-dumpfile.dat"

       %svnadmin% load %repos% < %dumpfile%


Are my expectations correct (that I should see my revision history)?

Did I omit some key parameters?

Is there another version I should try (other than 0.11.0 Alpha 1 and 30-Apr-2008)?

Does vss2svn work with Vista?

Any other suggestions?
