I've used the script without problems. Yes, it leaves your VSS database
intact.
Note that all the VSS history will be as if it was checked in under the user
who ran the script. The actual VSS history is stored within the log comment
of each file version.

My group has just switched from VSS -- we just did a 'get latest' from VSS late one night when no one was working, and did the initial CVS import from that.

Recently I have converted VSS data to CVS and
it works fine.
The following set of softwares is used by me :
ActivePerl Ver. 5.6.1 (http://www.activeperl.com).
This is used to run the perl script necessary for
converting the VSS data to CVS data format.

I am looking for a utility which will allow me to converts a Microsoft Visual Source

cess to both the VSS and the CVS
repository, install perl 5.6.0, cvs, and vss. Run vss2cvs.pl
(possibly multiple times (for multiple projects and branches),
figuring out the appropriate arguments). (Actually, I'd recommend
initially doing the conversion to a CVSROOT on local disk, then
I've spent some time in the last few weeks hacking at Jerry Nairn's
vss2cvs.pl script (and a bit on massagecomments.pl), and have made
some changes that I think others will find useful while converting

VSS is fine for a team of around 5-10 developers. Beyond that I would not
recommend it at all. It does not scale well. Currently VSS uses file
