Should a .sln be committed to source control?

Question

Is it a best practice to commit a .sln file to source control? When is it appropriate or inappropriate to do so?

Update There were several good poin

Answer 1

Yes, things you should commit are:

• solution (*.sln),
• project files,
• all source files,
• app config files
• build scripts

Things you should not commit are:

• solution user options (.suo) files,
• build generated files (e.g. using a build script) [Edit:] - only if all necessary build scripts and tools are available under version control (to ensure builds are authentic in cvs history)

Regarding other automatically generated files, there is a separate thread.
