Hi Group,

We are trying to migrate a small portion of a large Perforce depot into CVS.

The Perforce depot has about 3500 labels and about three hundred thousand files. We only need to move a small part of this depot into CVS. This small part does not have any labels.

I understand from the old posts in this list, that it takes painfully long time for VCP to read through all the labels, and can possibly affect the server performance and may even crash it, so was wondering if there is a way to bypass the labels altogether. (ie. tell vcp not to convert labels)

Our Perforce server is Ver 2001.1 running on Solaris 8

The p4 to cvs conversion is being attempted on a Windows machine and we are using the vcp.exe
