Back in the late 90s we used to call it Visual SourceSieve - code changes would just leak away through the holes. Words cannot explain how much of a step up git (or even SVN) was. As I recall, the main problem was that VSS didn't have a proper server! Instead the client modified files in the repository directly using Window's file sharing, relying on locks to maintain consistency. This would have been a bad idea even in Window's file shares weren't slow and buggy.
