Our VSS repository is done for. It took an overnight job to delete a 15 meg directory tree. The performance of the repository has been degrading for the last six months, but this takes the cake. I tried to create a new repository, but it did not work. Apparently, this behaviour is 'by design', at least according to an MS knowledge base article. I tried using the workarounds in that article, plus suggestions in another article or two, but was unable to create a new repository.
