Ability of vss2svn to recognize project-level shares ?

this is one of my favorite wishes also ;-)

This is interesting, normally the code can do "folder creations" and 
"copies" in one go. So we should have a look here in depth. I'm 
wondering, why the comment is missing on the copy. Is it also missing in 
the share node from PhysicalAction? I have a lot of places like this, 
and they all work fine, but I think I also never use comments, when 
doing these kind of actions. Need to try.

 I expect, that you have a file that is shared within your project, so 
it will end up to be copied two times. The current "revision break" 
detection logic will detect, that there was already an operation on the 
first share and will force a revision break on the second. I already 
tried to solve this, but this is very complex, since the revision 
detection logic is at the wrong place in the code. It comes before the 
ActionHandler and here we do not have enough information about the real 
activity.

Yes, this would be wonderful. I also thought about this already and 
dismissed the idea due to complexity. And also due to lack of time ;-)
