"Migrating from Visual Source Safe to TFS"

State and Local Government Developers : Migrating from Visual Source Safe to TFS

"Quite a few of you have asked how you can migrate from Visual Source Safe to Team Foundation Server (TFS) and use the new source code control features in TFS.

There is a pretty intense walkthrough that describes how to migrate from Visual SourceSafe to Team Foundation using the VSS converter tool, VSSConverter.exe.

In this walkthrough, you will accomplish the following tasks:
* Modify the settings file to specify which project folders to migrate.
* Run the converter to migrate your source from Visual SourceSafe to Team Foundation and generate a migration report.

Detailed instructions are here:

Something I might need... Though I might skip VSS migration and just start fresh in VSTS. I'm thinking that starting fresh provides the push to organize things "right" and clean house...
