Converting Visual SourceSafe to Team Foundation Server -- graphically

In a previous blog entry, I covered the command-line tool provided with Team System to migrate Visual Source Safe repositories to Team Foundation Server Source control.

The VSSConverter.exe tool works, but you have to set up XML files manually and do everything from the command line. Not exactly fun for the whole family. Well, Eyal Post rolled up his sleeves and created this outstanding GUI tool which does all the tedious command-line work for you. Including mapping VSS users to TFS users!

     

Thanks Eyal! I used this recently on a project and it worked great. Much easier than the command-line way.
