I've inherited a ASP.Net 2.0 (File System) Web Project from a client, where a few different companies have worked on this project in recent years. The project has been handed from one company to the next, before finally ending up with me.
So now, as you can imagine, the code base and file and folder structure has become pretty messy and ugly, and I am trying to fix this up.
It was handed over to me as an SVN exported repository/folder, which I then added to my own SVN repository. However, I am now finding a whole of vssver.scc scattered around. They don't seem to be used anywhere.
I believe these are used by another source control system other then SVN.
Can I delete these files?
Method 1: The File “VSSVer2. scc” used by Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, a version control system that integrates with Visual Studio; contains source code control information used to get and commit developer files; used by the application for managing local copies of projects under source control.
scc) stands for “Scenarist Closed Captions.” It's commonly used with broadcast and web video, as well as DVDs and VHS videos. SCC file data is based on closed captioning data for CEA-608. i.e., Line 21 or EIA-608 broadcast data; this used to be the standard transmission format for closed captions in North America.
The files are part of the Visual SourceSafe binding mechanism. The files that are safe to delete are:
In addition to deleting the above files I would remove the binding information on all project files (*.vbproj, *.csproj, etc.) by removing the following XML tags.
And finally in the solution file (*.sln) remove the following section.
GlobalSection(SourceCodeControl) = preSolution SccNumberOfProjects = 1 SccLocalPath0 = . SccProjectUniqueName1 = ... SccProjectName1 = ... SccLocalPath1 = ... EndGlobalSection
