I've got access to Visual SourceSafe now, so between you and me and 
Stefan we could probably get it out of the sandbox.

I've added to the tests in the last couple of days. One downside to the 
way they are currently laid out is that you have to do a test build 
followed by a cleanup build every time (running Ant twice). Separating 
them out makes sense so that you have time between runs to examine the 
database and make sure everything is as expected. The trouble is that if 
you try to do two tests in a row without running cleanup in between, you 
get a build failure. Any ideas about how to fix that?

We could structure it so that the cleanup is done before running the tests.

That way it would still be possible to manually 'eyeball' the
repository after a test run.

I'd have to download vss again as I don't have it right now

If test depends on cleanup you can examine anything you want after
running the tests and things will get cleaned up before you run the next
tests.

Sure they could, but then you couldn't examine the repository to make 
sure everything is being stored as expected. Fine for automated tasks, 
but I like having the ability to manually look things over to make sure 
everything is as expected. Eventually the tests could become 
sophisticated enough to do the checking themselves, but for now they are 
pretty basic: Did calling the ss.exe command succeed or return an error 
code? If an error code, then the build fails.

Can the tests depend on cleanup?  Sorry, I haven't actually looked into
the build file but thought I might toss out the idea anyway.
