Folks,
We have a number of Source Safe databases that should be migrated to SubVersion. Is there a (tested and proven) way to migrate them with history ?
Thanks Essam

I'm considering the migration too and I have found some pages that may help you in the process:
- Moving from Visual SourceSafe to Subversion
- Vss2Svn Project page
- Migrating from SourceSafe to Subversion
This 3 pages provide information on methods to migrate the complete history from VSS to SVN

I moved a VSS database to SVN using the vss2svn perfectly. It had about 23000 svn commits but required lots of VSS repair!

You can try VssMigrate. It is a C# port of PowerAdmin's VssMigrate which has the capability to "Resolve the individual VSS-checkins to atomic SVN commits via the approximate timestamp".

I have tested VssMigrate on several VSS databases and moved them perfectly to SVN, thanks Tim

Stumbled across this old question from a Google search. Another choice available is from Polarion who has a free SVN importer that can import from multiple sources. I'm trying it now...
