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 . I'd love to have the CLI. Where can I find it? thanks.

I had the same problem with repeating conversions so I built a CLI in my fork https://github.com/dimitar-grigorov/vss2git. You can do something like Vss2Git.Cli.exe --vss-dir "C:\VSS\Project" --git-dir "C:\Git\Output" --ignore-errors --force and script the whole thing. Also added two faster backends, the FastImport one finishes about multiple times quicker than the original.
