Having a little trouble with 'vss2svn' on a 'clean' VSS repository

Fri Aug 31 15:36:04 EDT 2007

Hi,

I'm in the midst of migrating of our development teams from VSS, CVS,
and ClearCase to Subversion and I'm running into a bit of trouble.  I'm
starting first with the VSS repositories.  I ran the analyze tool on a
stable copy of a VSS repository(about 1Gb in size) and the analyze tool
reported no errors.  I have encountered errors when using analyze on
other VSS repositories, but for the repository I'm referring to in this
post, the repository was clean.  I then ran the vss2svn
tool(vss2svn-nightly-20070803.zip
<http://www.pumacode.org/download/vss2svn/nightly/vss2svn-nightly-200708
03.zip> ) from my local PC(Windows XP SP2) on the repository and
received the following output and error messages:

C:\VSS\IDM02>vss2svn -vssdir .

/PerlApp/Vss2Svn/Dumpfile.pm line 778.

                             END OF CONVERSION

The VSS to SVN conversion is complete. You should now use the "svnadmin
load"

command to load the generated dumpfile 'vss2svn-dumpfile.dat'. The
"svnadmin"

utility is provided as part of the Subversion command-line toolset; use
a

command such as the following:

    svnadmin load <repodir> < "vss2svn-dumpfile.dat"

You may need to precede this with "svnadmin create <repodir>" if you
have not

yet created a repository. Type "svnadmin help <cmd>" for more
information on

"create" and/or "load".

If any errors occurred during the conversion, they are summarized above.

Despite the error messages, the vss2svn utility completed and generated
about a 1Gb dump file.  I then tried to load that dump file into a new
Subversion repository, and things were going pretty well until it
stopped at the following:

------- Committed revision 2516 >>>

<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 2517

     * adding path : labels/Idm_1.1.1.5 ... done.

     * adding path : labels/Idm_1.1.1.5/orphaned ... done.

     * adding path : labels/Idm_1.1.1.5/orphaned/_POAAAAAA/IDM
Sourcecode ...COPIED... done.

svnadmin: Invalid change ordering: new node revision ID without delete

Considering that the analyze tool reported not a single error in this
VSS repository, any ideas what my next steps should be?  Any feedback is
greatly appreciated.
