Below are a few links to "interesting" articles about the issues with SourceSafe, there are plenty of modern, free alternatives and if you do choose subversion, then this list will help in converting what it can of your VSS data to svn (hence the name vss2svn): http://www.developsense.com/testing/VSSDefects.html http://www.highprogrammer.com/alan/windev/sourcesafe.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000660.html ...and this one from Microsoft themselves: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb509342(VS.80).aspx This site provides a "comparison tool" for various revision control systems (useful for finding names of other tools, not all free): http://versioncontrolblog.com/comparison/ _______________________________________________ vss2svn-users mailing list Project homepage: http://www.pumacode.org/projects/vss2svn/ Subscribe/Unsubscribe/Admin: http://lists.pumacode.org/mailman/listinfo/vss2svn-users-lists.pumacode.org Mailing list web interface (with searchable archives): http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.vss2svn.user
