Instructions for the p4convert-svn validation utility. 1. Edit svnP4Validate.sh and set the variables at the beginning appropriately Pay special attention to P4PORT, REPO and DEPOT 2. Make sure you have md5sum and dos2unix available on your path. You'll need to get them from your Operating System Vendor. dos2unix should be able to handle utf16 files. 3. Place the included "bomstrip.pl" and "zapkeywords.sh" in the same directory 4. The validation utility requires "audit.log" which was generated during the conversion 5. The Perforce server must be running 6. The validator will create a "validate" subdirectory with the file "fail.log" within it. This file records each conversion mismatch. The first column is the change ID. The second column is the failureID. Each file which fails is written to "validate/subversion/file" and "validate/perforce/file. So if you have a recursive diff tool you can just point it to each directory and do a comparison. Have fun, if you have any problems or suggestions for this utility please email support@perforce.com with your comments. Thanks, -Norman Morse
