VSS -> Bazaar

I hate MS Visual SourceSafe, but must use it, so it is time to do something.



The idea: use bazaar as a proxy between me and VSS.



Goals:

• keep my working source up2date without too much effort
• use branches to separate independent tasks and to be able to track them
• I don't want to commit into VSS through bazaar, I will merge changes manually back, but I need help to check-out the required files
  
  

Workflow:

1. import project from VSS into Bazaar
2. check-out, create branch, work on it, commit, add new files, remove files ...
3. if it is needed update from VSS [vss get latest version, commit changes into bazaar]
   
   
4. merge back manually to VSS [need a good report about the changes, vss check-out, manual merge, compile, commit, update bazaar main branch]
