Question Title

* 7. What is the MINIMUM amount of tagged/labelled history you would accept from your old CM system?

All the files were correct i.e builds/compiles correctly AND they must show the original author, time stamp, parent revision history.

All the files were correct i.e builds/compiles correctly BUT the author, time stamp, parent history was not the same as the original CM system.

All the files were correct regarding the author, time stamp, parent history but it no longer builds/compiles.

It builds/compiles correctly BUT there might be additional files/folders in the Git tag.
