Do csproj files in Git need xml tags SccProjectName, SccLocalPath, SccAuxPath, SccProvider with SAK values

I recently moved a solution from TFS to Git.

The CSPROJ used to have these lines:

<SccProjectName>SAK</SccProjectName>
<SccLocalPath>SAK</SccLocalPath>
<SccAuxPath>SAK</SccAuxPath>
<SccProvider>SAK</SccProvider>

Sometimes Visual Studio now removes them.

I believe that they tell the csproj file to go to the sln file to find out the source control bindings (SAK - Should Already Know). Git doesn't have any bindings in the sln file that I am aware of, so I should be able to remove them.

<SccProjectName>
</SccProjectName>
<SccLocalPath>
</SccLocalPath>
<SccAuxPath>
</SccAuxPath>
<SccProvider>
</SccProvider>

Can someone confirm that I can I safely remove them?

Solution

  • You can remove it, that's of no use in git.

    That's information added when you're using TFVC version control. When you're using Git, these information are no more used.
