Gotcha. Thanks for the description.

I also noticed that I am getting a bunch of errors such as:

WARNING: Unknown action 'Restore'

...during startup. I checked out the vss2svn.pl code, and it seems that
version 0.10b2 doesn't read Restores (but the latest trunk version
does..)

So, with all of this, I assume I should wait until the next version
(beta3?)

No, the are more or less the opposite ;-)

E.g if you destroy a project, normally all files within this project are

destroyed also. In some situations, esp. when the files are shared, the 
files survive the "destroy" operation, but they don't have a parent 
anymore. During the conversion process we will see file related 
activities but we don't see where the activity happened, since the 
parent project is lost. The file is orphaned. Later if the file is 
shared into another project, this is like getting new parents and the 
file looses it's orphaned state.

The 0.10 beta2 does not yet handle orphans fully. So you will loose all 
file history prior to the point, when the file is shared into their new 
parent.
