See <a href="#NOTES">NOTES</a> for details. <p>This driver allows <a href="../../vcp.html">vcp</a> to insert revisions in to a VSS repository. There are no options at this time. <p><hr><h1><a name="TODO">TODO </a></h1><p>This module is here purely to support the VCP test suite, which must import a bunch of files in to VSS before it can test the export. It works, but is not field tested. <p>While I'm sure there exist pressing reasons for importing files in to VSS from other repositories, I have never had such a request and do not wish to invest a lot of effort in advance of such a request. <p>Therefore, this module does not batch checkins, cope with branches, optimize comment settings, etc. <p>Patches or contracts welcome. <p><hr><h1><a name="NOTES">NOTES </a></h1><p>VSS does not flag individual revisions as binary vs. text; the change is made on a per-file basis. This module does not alter the filetype on <code>Checkin</code>, however it does set binary (-B) vs. text (-B-) on <code>Add</code>. <p>VSS allows one label per file, and adding a label (by default) causes a new versions of the file. This module adds the first label it receives for a file (which is first may or may not be predictable depending on the source repository) to the existing version unless the existing version already has a label, then it just adds new versions as needed. <p>This leads to the backfilling issue: when backfilling, there are no labels to request, so backfilling always assumes that the most recent rev is the base rev for incremental imports. <p>The <code>ss Delete</code> command does not allow a comment. <p>Files are recalled from deleted status when added again if they were deleted. <p><hr><h1><a name="AUTHOR">AUTHOR </a></h1><p>Barrie Slaymaker <barries@slaysys.com> <p><hr><h1><a name="COPYRIGHT">COPYRIGHT </a></h1><p>Copyright (c) 2000, 2001, 2002 Perforce Software, Inc.
