Hi Tracy:
I've done that in 2014 to migrate the last 10 labeled versions from our VSS projects to PlasticSCM repositories.
The simplest way I'd find to do it is to checkout each version, copy to the new repository and checkin into PlasticSCM.
In our case we migrated tx2 files and binaries, but you can do it with just tx2 files. Special care must by take with moved or renamed files. I did the migration of those 10 latest versions (2700 files between tx2 and binaries) in an hour or so.
Because the tx2 are the same, there is no need for regeneration.
Hope this helps,
Best Regards!

We are looking at changing things over from VSS to git. There are about 20 projects that we want to transfer the history of the files in to git. However, we do not want to transfer the binary files over. We haven't been using the FoxBin2PRG since we have been just working directly in the standard project manager in VFP.
For example, a form in VSS is a binary file. It has had 16 changes to in over the past few years. We would like to have these historical changes stored in git allowing us to reference this history without the need to go back to VSS. The catch is, we only want to store the text equivalent of the form in git.
Is there someone out there that has done this in the past?
Thank you, Tracy
