Version 4 should have VSS import
Please port the v3 vss import wizard to v4.
The route by vss2git failed big time probably on a binary in vss. The route by svn is also far from flawless (I could not even exportmy error free vss to svn).

Unfortunately we decided not to support a specific vss importer. But we’ve migrated some teams from vss to plastic using fast-export/import and other third party tools

I appreciate your comments guys.
The "import business" is a really tough one. To say the least!
Our best possible result (a clean import) is your bare minimum expectation and anything else is not even good for you... which I totally understand but puts all importers on a very delicate position... :)
We'll do something to improve the VSS path to plastic... -

We came to plastic v4 from VSS, too. But we decided to start with a clear database, because 20 years of version history would pull the performance down, most likely. We still have our VSS archive to lookup old comments, which happens once a month.
