Re: anyone got a copy of vss2cvs.pl?

[Thomas S. Urban]

I don't have the original version, but I can give you my version - it
has some modifications handle:
  - directory recursion
  - ignore certain extensions
  - ignore binary files
  - import shared files once - this is a big time saver, though you'll
    have to work with your CVS repository directly after the fact to
    deal with where the shared files ended up and all the files that
    "point" to them.  This is the kind of thing you have to do anyway
    when importing VSS repositories to CVS
  - change author names in massage step

Most of these changes are explained in the file vss2cvs.pl.  Let me know
if you have questions.

Files:

 README.txt             - original readme
 listshares.pl          - original share listing utility
 vss2cvs.pl             - my modified import script
 massagecomments.pl     - original post processing script
 mymassagecomments.pl   - my version of above - does author mangling
 findauthors.pl         - my utility to find author names
 countrevisions.pl      - my import stats utility
