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.
