git was told to move a file, but the file already exists

Still going through the repository and found another issue, where a file is attempted to be moved, but it already exists. Here is part of the log:

I removed the destination file manually with git and continued on. I think that is the correct course of action.

This is fixed by this PR on the rustyx fork.

But rusty doesn't pull his fork to trevorr

[VasiliPupkin256]

wqweto, your fix is bad. This is a result of reckless commit combination done by vss2git. It should not combining commits if the last commit removes or overwrite a file changed by the previous commit

[wqweto]

You are right, of course. This was a quick fix to get something working.

The root cause of the issue seems to be that vss2git does not handle folder renames (VSS calls these "projects") very well.
