In the context of Subversion VSS almost always stands for Visual
Source Safe; an old version management system from Microsoft, which
even Microsoft doesn't suggest to new users. I experienced that you
can lose information with sourcesafe, but it certainly wasn't designed
to do that. (It just happens to do that for a lot of users with big
repositories)
The Volume Snapshot Service just shares the same three letter acronym.
Just a few notes to Graham for his evaluation:
* There are several projects that developed tools to migrate VSS
history to Subversion. (I used some perl scripts for this task a few
years ago but there are more recent scripts using other languages). If
you can't find them I should have some links in my archive.
* You found the AnkhSVN <http://ankhsvn.net/> SCC Provider for Visual
Studio and the VisualSVN (on top of TortoiseSVN)
<http://www.visualsvn.com> integration?
Thanks,
Bert
