Download Krepost

Krepost is an application that allows migrating source-code repositories from Microsoft SourceSafe to Subversion repositories.

All files and history of each file are migrated to new repository.

Microsoft SourceSafe has been discontinued, and has a long list of problems and limitations.
Many companies and individual-users are migrating their repositories to Subversion, which is a well-established open-source Version Control System.

In this kind of migration, it's very important that not only the most-recent version of each file is migrated, but the complete history of each file, since file histories offer better understanding of your source codes, and allows features like Subversion blame, where one can find out who is responsible for each line of source code.
