Around here we have been working with a bunch of Visual Source Safe repositories

  • 0

Around here we have been working with a bunch of Visual Source Safe repositories for about 10 years or so.

Now I want to get rid of sourcesafe and move on to Team Foundation Server.

Do you have any tips or tricks for me before I embark on this migration? What are the things I have to be careful about?

I am sure this migration will mean that our working habits have to be modified in some way. Do you think that these changes could be a problem for the organization? Think about a group of about 20 .NET developers in a single site.

  1. I just googled, but this walkthrough seems like a good reference, and it mentions the tool VSSConverter which should help you make the migration as painless as possible.

    I would like to recommend one thing though: Backup. Backup everything before you do this. Should anything go wrong it’s better to be safe than sorry.
