Yes, windows. It is a version of the vss2svn.pl script floating around,
though I've made many changes to fix errors and adapt to our db. I am
running it via Cygwin (latest version of cygwin) and Perl for windows
(installed separate from cygwin).

No, it is a native filesystem on the linux side, I believe it is using
ext3, but it is possible that it is on ext2 (darn RedHat, doesn't use
something better such as Reiser, and I've yet to convert the drive
manually).
