First of all, you should really ask yourself the question whether you
really need to migrate the history. It's nice to have, but it's often
also a pretty big effort.

I have tried vss2svn in the past (2-3 years ago). At that time, the
conversion failed miserably, but we were trying to convert a +12G VSS
repository... We just left the existing VSS repository available for
consultation, and imported the latest version of all projects into
svn.

The tool we used at that time was the one you find at pumacode (http://
www.pumacode.org/projects/vss2svn). There seems to be another tool
available on codeplex these days (http://www.codeplex.com/VSS2SVN),
don't know how whether it's any better than the original one.
