Re: vss2svn.py

["Jens B. Jorgensen" <je...@tallan.com>]

Ok, I've done some more work on this and seem to have advanced its 
stability and functionality. It still does not handle the "store only 
latest version" flag for those who need that. It also doesn't handle 
Branch or Share operations. It does however handle 
deleted/recovered/purged/destroyed files though. I made the handling of 
environment variables and command-lines params (hopefully) a little more 
robust. A major change I made was replacing the command history parsing 
to use regexps which is a big improvement. Things like spaces in 
filenames which were certain death before should work now.

It's still got a way to go but this is progress. If anyone would care to 
grab the lastest version (see URL below) and give it a try please go 
ahead. I'll hopefully have improvements soon.
