The additional problem is, that all people who start working on such a project, finish all their effort, after their conversion succeeded. By nature this is a "use it once and throw it away" kind of software.
Do remember that a lot of what you're doing is reverse-engineering the VSS database. So in addition to providing a good conversion system, you're also laying the foundations for utilities that have nothing to do with Subversion, like VSS repair utilities and utilities that convert to other version control systems.
If you do development on windows you start with VSS and after 2-3 years you recognize that you need more and that you have reached the limit of VSS.
Or corporate inertia and turnover take their toll and an aging development team with little idea of previous history or the alternatives available is forced to make an old dinosaur keep working far beyond its design limitations. That's what I'm trying to deal with.
