Anyone have good experience with tools migrating codebase from VSS to Subversion (preserving histories, meta-data)?
Any feedback will be much appreciated.

Here is a handy tutorial which uses vss2svn.exe (a tool that handles most of the VSS to SVN migration complexities for you).

I modified the VSS2SVN version on codeplex, it does history and metadata (date, author etc). Its a VB.net app with a nice GUI, that can migrate incrementally.

@gbjbaanb Cool! I am guessing it's available from Codeplex. Have you had good feedback on it? What can we expect if we go with this? Are there any gotchas or things that need manual intervention that we should be aware of?

I wrote it to fulfil my need, with a huge VSS DB. It can take a while to run (VSS's fault :) ) as it grabs everything. I would like it to group checkins to VSS at the same time as a single SVN commit, but that's just a niggle - otherwise it works fine. Try it, just read the doc on its site.
