vss2cvs.pl - problems with labels

[Eric Johanson]

Hi there,

I've been working on importing a large VSS tree into CVS.   (Using
vss2cvs.pl).  Anyway, It's looking like it's upset with the "Labels" on
the tree.  In both cases where it's gotten upset, it's been a label that
looks like a date:

can't parse timestamp Label: "v020201"

- -or-

can't parse timestamp Label: "Daily-04.09.2001"

So, I've been reviewing the code for vss2cvs.... Inside of sub
resync_file, it's looking at the data coming from vss... Then it calls: "
($user,$timestamp) = parse_user_and_timestamp($_);"   So I'm guessing that
it's looking for a user & timestamp.  The part I don't get is, why it's
trying to get this from the label, as I would not expect it to look for a
username from the label.... :/

Here is where it finally dies, right at the start of
parse_user_and_timestamp():

# *** DATE FORMAT CHANGE HERE ***
#
# For U.S. format dates: mm/dd/yy, time as hh:mm[am or pm indicator]
#
    die "can't parse timestamp $_"

unless(address@hidden:[\s]*([^\s]+)\s+Date:\s+(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)\s+Time:\s+(\d+):(\d+)([ap])@);
    my ($user, $mo, $day, $yr, $hr, $min, $sec) = ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6,
0);

 - -It looks like I'm running version 1.12; is there I newer version
around?   I found some postings with problems with it running under a
cygwin shell; I think I've fixed those; I'd be happy to submit a patch...

Please reply to me directly, as I'm not on the cvs mailing list.


Thanks in advance!
