If the VSS copy is merely a kind of elaborate backup tape, then "diff
-r" (or dircmp, if your diff doesn't -r) will show you which files
are different in the two directories, and you can copy over only
those.

If someone's changing the VSS copies, independent of the Subversion
copies, then you have a merge problem, which is a notch harder than
any of these proposed solutions, anyway.
