Answer 1

Surround SCM has an SDK. I used this to bring a repository from CVS to Surround. Years later, one team was looking at moving to SVN and asked if I could migrate the repository. I came up with a solution, which consisted of walking the Surround repository and creating an intermediate in-memory database, and then processing it. To ensure dates were right, I would reset the clock on the computer. Before I could fully implment the solution, we decided to keep a floating license for that team for when they needed to look at history and planned on them rethinking the entire organization of their projects. (As an FYI, two years on and that team is still using Surround.)
