VSSConverter GUI

"If you’re going to migrate your SourceSafe repository to Team System, you’ll eventually meet VSSConverter. VSSConverter is a command line utility that uses xml configuration files to transfer SourceSafe projects to TFS.

If you don’t like command line utilities then you’ve come to the right place. I’ve written a GUI frontend to VSSConverter that is called..well.. VSSConverterGui .

To use the tool, you should get familiar with the VSSConverter docs. I also suggest reading the following: Step by Step: Migration process from VSS to Team Foundation.

If you found this useful or (more likely) found some bugs, drop me a line in the comments section.

Download: VssConverterGui.zip
Note: Extract and place in the same location as VssConverter.exe

VERY cool. The VSSConverter command line is not hard, but is still a pain. The hardest part is the xml config editing... Making sure the tags are right, etc, etc.

This tool looks to help with that a GREAT deal.
