Migrating from Surround SCM to Perforce


So we have our whole work based in SSCM right now with a lot of history and versions etc. And want to move everything to Perforce.

Are there any good resources out there (I tried looking but couldn't find any) which could help me do this?

If not I was thinking of a python script to check out everything from SSCM and then put it to perforce. Anyone with this sort of experience have any thoughts to share?

Will it be doable to shift all history, comments and versions to Perforce?

Thanks


Solution

  • Yes, it's doable, but it looks like you're on your own. Perforce has some migration tools available for various SCM systems, but alas Surround is not one of them. You might be able to use one of these as a starting point though. I have migrated a VSS repository using the script they have available and it worked great.
