Hi all,
I got vss2svn working but I'm getting some error messages after
conversion and I'm wondering whether to worry about them or not.
While vss2svn is running, it prints out a whole bunch of error
messages like the following:
...
Can't retrieve revisions from physical file 'SFBAAAAA'; it was either
destroyed or corrupted at vss2svn.pl line 773
Can't retrieve revisions from physical file 'TFBAAAAA'; it was either
destroyed or corrupted at vss2svn.pl line 773
Can't retrieve revisions from physical file 'UFBAAAAA'; it was either
destroyed or corrupted at vss2svn.pl line 773
Can't retrieve revisions from physical file 'VFBAAAAA'; it was either
destroyed or corrupted at vss2svn.pl line 773
…
What exactly do these mean? I've spot checked this and it appears
like none of these files actually exist in the data directory of VSS.
It wouldn't bother me all too much, but I'm getting something like
700 of these errors. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a Perl hacker,
and as such can't get much out of the code.
This means, that you have added a file to VSS and later destroyed it
permanently. So there is still some information about the fact, that
you added an item, but the history of the item itself is lost. Vss is
file based, that means, every item has its own history. Destroying a
file will wipe out the history. The glue between the items are the
projects, where you find the information, that a specific file was added.
Those error messages seem to be the cause of much alarm for first-time
users; I should probably either relegate them to "debug" status and/or
add (probably harmless) to the output...
