I need to write a script to make a source safe project ready to be moved to subversion, what do I need to do so far I can think of:
- remove .scc files
- remove .vspcc files
Do I need to remove the "read-only" attribute of all the files as well, or will that not matter?
What language would you write this script in, I was planning to do it in python (os.walk is great), but maybe powershell would be more appropriate to chnage file attributes on windows (if I need to)?
Is there anything else you can think of that needs to be done before I move the project to SVN?
For a manual migration (or to understand what happens) :
- remove "read-only" attribute for all files
- remove *.scc
- remove *.vssscc
- remove *.vspscc
- delete *.suo
- remove "SourceCodeControl..." section from your solution.sln file
- remove "SccProjectName..." section from your projects.csproj files
I also have a hard drive with a bunch of VSS projects that I want to move to SVN projects.
Couldn't you just use Vss2Svn? It sounds like this will convert VSS projects to SVN, but I have not tried it and have not heard anything about it. Has anyone tried this to move from VSS to SVN? Or is it better to do it manually?
The best thing you could do is a clean export of all the files in the repository. Blow away anything that is VSS.
Once you've done that then just do a subversion import and you'll be ready to go. If you write a script you'll just have one more maintenance & failure point. Thus my preference for just doing a clean import.
