SYMPTOMS
If a file has been deleted in Delta, the Delta_SS conversion never adds
the file or any of its history to the SourceSafe project.
CAUSE
This occurs because if a file has been deleted from Delta, another file
using the same name can be added later. Consider the following Log.mvm
excerpt:
- 1/1/91 addfile fileA
- 1/2/91 delfile fileA
- 1/3/91 addfile fileA (different file)
Delta_SS reads the entire log file and skips entries that refer to files
that have been deleted.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
