Feature request : Command Line Interface to Vss2Git

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We have to convert a huge number of SourceSafe projects. 
We have for sure to try this first before we are really going online with the 
tool for the whole team, i.e. we will have to repeat several time the same 
conversion. 
If we could use the Vss2Git from the command line (or COM API, or ....) we 
could prepare corresponding scripts and have a kind of automatic conversion, 
avoid for sure several conversion failures due to bad parameter entries in the 
Vss2Git user interface. 
Is there such a way ?

Hi,
we added some simple kind of CLI that allowed us to convert one VSS database 
into 200+ git - repositories. It is not perfect, but it did work :-)
We can provide this version as a git-repository.

This is a popular request. However, it's also a substantial amount of work. In 
addition to creating command line options for everything in the GUI, there 
needs to be console UI for progress and error handling. Also, there would need 
to be an abstraction layer to support both UIs. This will likely need to be 
contributed by someone else if it is ever to happen.
