Yeah, those errors sound like one of many feature-not-a-bug things with VSS.
Anyway, for future reference, rev 190 had the following stats on my VSS Repo: Started at : Tue Apr 11 9:48:46 2006 Ended at : Tue Apr 11 9:56:43 2006 Elapsed time : 00:07:57 (H:M:S) VSS Actions read : 4266 SVN Revisions converted : 722 Date range (YYYY/MM/DD) : 2003/10/13 to 2006/04/10 All 722 revisions have since been imported successfully into SVN.

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... _______________________________________________ vss2svn-users mailing list Project homepage: http://www.pumacode.org/projects/vss2svn/ Subscribe/Unsubscribe/Admin: http://lists.pumacode.org/mailman/listinfo/vss2svn-users-lists.pumacode. org _______________________________________________ vss2svn-users mailing list Project homepage: http://www.pumacode.org/projects/vss2svn/ Subscribe/Unsubscribe/Admin: http://lists.pumacode.org/mailman/listinfo/vss2svn-users-lists.pumacode.org
