SYMPTOMS
If a file has been deleted in Delta, the Delta_SS conversion never adds the file or any of its history to the SourceSafe project.



CAUSE
This occurs because if a file has been deleted from Delta, another file using the same name can be added later. Consider the following Log.mvm excerpt:
 * 1) 1/1/91 addfile fileA
 * 2) 1/2/91 delfile fileA
 * 3) 1/3/91 addfile fileA (different file)

Delta_SS reads the entire log file and skips entries that refer to files that have been deleted.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
