Is there a "tags" directory? That's where labels are suppose to go. Normally, conversion utilities have to be told where to put this directory -- whether it should be at the root of the repository or the root of the projects directory. The two most common ways are: /trunk/proj1 /trunk/proj2 /branches/proj1 /branches/proj2 /tags/proj1 tags/proj2 /proj1/trunk /proj1/tags /proj1/branches /proj2/trunk /proj2/tags /proj2/branches Check both locations. Otherwise, you'll have to ask Neil Sleightholm about his program. I don't know if too many people on this list are familiar with it. One of my concerns is that the migrate.pl program doesn't contain the words "tags" or "branches" in it. I didn't do a code analysis to see how it works, but unless you passed the names of your tags and branches directory as parameters, I'd be concerned that tags and branches weren't being created. There was something about "Labeled" in the program. It appeared to be a check in comment, but you can see if that exists as a directory name, or check your "svn log" for a comment containing the word "Labeled". If you do, do an svn log and see if you can find the actual place the tag was created. It should be the revision right after the "Labeled" comment. If you can find the comments, but not the tags themselves, you might be able to write a script to parse your SVN log, find the comments, and make the tags yourself based upon the revision of those comments. There are a few other VSS to SVN conversion utilities out there. The one I'm most familar with are the tools from Polarion <http://www.polarion.com/products/svn/svn_importer.php>. You might want to try theirs and see if you get better results. There's also a vss2svn project at http://www.pumacode.org/projects/vss2svn. Again, take their utility for a spin and see what the results look like. Again, your best choice for support on these VSS to SVN projects are from the sites that offer these projects. Please let us know what you find, so others who are in the same situation can benefit from your knowledge. We're all volunteers here. Most of us are on this list to get help, and some of us can occasionally offer help in as a way of paying back the help we previously had. And, if you do use Subversion, I highly recommend keeping your subscription on this list. It's a great way to learn about Subversion, its problems, and the best ways to use it. Sorry I couldn't be any more help. -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com
