"But not even Microsoft is supporting VSS anymore."
This is not exactly true. As things stand right now, VSS is on "end of life" with support to expire mid-2011. But then again, MS has also been trying the same thing with Visual Basic. We'll see how this plays out.

gits,
I was about to post, but you succinctly posted my thoughts as well.
However, in regards to spammers, I'm getting tired of this accusation. There are some developers (like myself) who actually work for software companies that have solutions to people's problems.

tvnaidu,
It will require a both a server and client solution, but you could always take a look at SourceOffSite - http://www.sourcegear.com/sos
