A short summary would be that the tool aims to generate a svn dumpfile with complete revision history from your archive files which you then svn import into a fresh repository. Note: the conversion process can take hours (obviously depending on the size of your archive). > 2) We are going to migrate JAVA code will there be any issues? > svn and the tool are fairly agnostic to the file contents so there should be no JAVA specific issues, only corruption in the VSS "database"... ~ mark c
