repo. Waiting 5 secs and retrying...

I presume you are using branch master. Try improve-vault-performance . Its been running every night for 2 years and hasn't missed a beat.

I've not looked at the code in 2 years and I don't have time right now to decipher your issue.

Have you had this working at all? Whats your history with the tool?

Please provide entire config and the entire output from the tool.

I have not used the root folder previously - $/
It may not be supported. Or you may need to go back to the original repo. Just try and do one branch folder for now.

Here is my configuration:

I'll try that file again:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="Vault.Server" value="devsrv"/>
    <add key="Vault.User" value="user"/>
    <add key="Vault.Password" value="password"/>
    <add key="Vault.Repo" value="lansa"/>
    <add key="Git.DomainName" value="lansa.com.au"/>
    <add key="Convertor.WorkingFolder" value="."/>
    <add key="Convertor.GitCmd" value="C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe"/>
    <add key="Convertor.Paths" value="$/vl/Trunk~trunk"/>
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

Hi Robe, Thanks for your configuration data.
Still we are seeing that issue: Actually what happen was migration start with version 1 and went up to 7. it got broken during version 8 migration and throw the exception.
PS: I use " improve-vault-performance" drop .
Below is the error message:

Firstly, you've omitted to send your configuration file.

You have very long paths. I suspect that version 8 introduces a new directory level and that blows the length.

Move the gitrepo to c:\xxxx_repo and see if that makes a difference

My bad, here is the configuration information.
I found the reason for that error, The vault allow you to rename the repo directory name at any time.
It means when you do the migration with latest repo directory name we get this error where older version keep the old repo name.
Is it possible to skip the particular version from the migration process using this tool?
or Is it possible to clone the label/tag independently without going over the version migration?

[robe070]

The last version number is part of the change set comment. If version 8 has the error, the last comment should contain 7. Change it to 8

Warm regards
