There is a mailing list and there have been a few questions/answers over the last few months but it is not exactly high traffic. However, we used this to convert some repositories with success, the labels are imported into a /labels/ folder. If your archive contains multiple projects then you may need to do a bit of work filtering the labels into separate tags folders but that's up to you. In the end we mostly extracted (dump filtered) the projects that were still active into new svn repositories and left the whole converted archive repo as read-only access for reference. > 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.

In the log files, there is no mention of the VSS labels, so I am not sure if anything failed. However, in the properties of the SVN revisions, I find the labels listed as an attribute value to property name "VSSRevisionLabel". Is there something I am doing wrong, which si causing the tags not being created? In the config.properties the settings as follows - srcprovider=vss import_dump_into_svn=yes #existing_svnrepos=yes clear_svn_parent_dir=yes use_only_last_revision_content=no file_description_property_key=description use_file_copy=yes trunk_path=trunk branches_path=branches tags_path=tags svnimporter_user_name=SvnImporter only_trunk=no svnadmin.executable=svnadmin.exe svnadmin.repository_path=c:/SVN/Checkbit6 svnadmin.parent_dir=. svnadmin.tempdir=c:/temp/local svnclient.executable=svn.exe svnadmin.verbose_exec=yes #svnadmin.import_timeout=1800000 svnadmin.path_not_exist_signature=non-existent in that revision #svnadmin.path_not_exist_signature=existiert nicht in dieser Revision vss.class=org.polarion.svnimporter.vssprovider.VssProvider vss.executable=C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\VSS\\win32\\ss.exe vss.path=\\\\kor********\\MEx_DB vss.project=$/Checkbit vss.username=max***** vss.password="" vss.tempdir=c:/temp/local vss.log.dateformat=MM.dd.yy hh:mma vss.log.datelocale=en vss.log.encoding=Cp1251 # if enabled - dump output of vss.executable command to stdout vss.verbose_exec=yes #if enabled, com-api is used instead of ss.exe vss.use.com.api=yes
