"file may have changed" 100% of the time

[bgrommes]

After installing SOS and updating an existing solution that was already working with VSS, EVERY time I check out a file it natters at me about the possibility that the "file may have changed" and offers to attempt a merge. This despite the fact that my local copy is identical to what's in the VSS database. I have to tell it to "leave it" every time. It is not a one-time problem; I can make changes, check them in, and check them right back out and get the same prompt every time.

Checked the SOS server and the date & time are correct. Can't see any obvious reason for SOS to be prompting me like this. Problem is occuring with two different clients, so it's nothing specific to my local setup.

Any fix for this annoyance? Should I let it perform a (do-nothing) merge to get it primed or something?

Take a look at the GUI client to see what the file status is. If it's "Unknown" or "Needs merge" but the files are identical, you may need to resolve it by doing a "Get latest" with the "overwrite" option.
