Why does Visual Studio check out the .vspscc file when I add a file to a project?

Question

If I add a new file to a project under TFS source control, it will check out the project file and the corresponding .vspscc file for that project file.

The project file

Answer 1

It gets checked out because under certain conditions it will be modified..and thus they checked it out as a matter of default. I wouldn't worry about it..it's not hurting anything, and if you disable it, it might bite you badly in the future in a bizarre way.
