  12. <p>This destination driver will check out the indicated destination in

  19. <p>This driver allows <a href="../../vcp.html">vcp</a> to insert revisions in to a VSS
  20. repository.  There are no options at this time.
  21.  
  22. <p><hr><h1><a name="TODO">TODO
  23.  
  24. </a></h1><p>This module is here purely to support the VCP test suite, which must
  25. import a bunch of files in to VSS before it can test the export.  It works,
  26. but is not field tested.
  27.  
  28. <p>While I'm sure there exist pressing reasons for importing files in to
  29. VSS from other repositories, I have never had such a request and do not
  30. wish to invest a lot of effort in advance of such a request.
  31.  
  32. <p>Therefore, this module does not batch checkins, cope with branches,
  33. optimize comment settings, etc.
  34.  
  35. <p>Patches or contracts welcome.
  36.  
  37. <p><hr><h1><a name="NOTES">NOTES
  38.  
  39. </a></h1><p>VSS does not flag individual revisions as binary vs. text; the change is
  40. made on a per-file basis.  This module does not alter the filetype on
  41. <code>Checkin</code>, however it does set binary (-B) vs. text (-B-) on <code>Add</code>.
  42.  
  43. <p>VSS allows one label per file, and adding a label (by default) causes a
  44. new versions of the file.  This module adds the first label it receives
  45. for a file (which is first may or may not be predictable depending on
  46. the source repository) to the existing version unless the existing
  47. version already has a label, then it just adds new versions as needed.
  48.  
  49. <p>This leads to the backfilling issue: when backfilling, there are no labels
  50. to request, so backfilling always assumes that the most recent rev is the
  51. base rev for incremental imports.
  52.  
  53. <p>The <code>ss Delete</code> command does not allow a comment.
  54.  
  55. <p>Files are recalled from deleted status when added again if they were
  56. deleted.
