The vss2svn project solves a totally different problem in a totally
different way; we actually read the VSS physical data files directly
because the COM interface is very bad at retrieving historic versions of
the tree correctly. However, going in the other direction should be much
easier and I would assume that the COM interface can solve that problem
effectively. You can probably even use an SVN hook script to mirror
every SVN commit into VSS with a simple VBScript.
