Adding solution to VSS...

When adding my VB .NET solution (with two sub-projects) the folder structure
in VSS gets an extra level of folders...

For example, here's the structure of the solution on my C:\
....\mySolution\mySolution.sln
....\mySolution\myProject1\myProject1.vbproj
-- and --
....\mySolution\myProject2\myProject2.vbproj

But after adding the solution to VSS the structure looks like this:
$\mySolution.root\mySolution\myProject1\myProject1.vbproj
^^^^^^^^^^
-- and --
$\mySolution.root\mySolution\myProject2\myProject2.vbproj
^^^^^^^^^^

What's with the extra mySolution.root folder level structure in VSS? This
only seems to make adding/getting projects from VSS more confusing. If anyone
can explain this ior point me to some literature that explains this I'd be
very happy....

Yeah, that annoys me too.

What I've found to work better (for me, at least) is to:
1. Create the solution first (empty, with no projects).
2. Select the solution and add it to source control.
3. Select the root folder from where I want the project to be created for my
solution, and clear the "Mysolution.root" text.
4. This creates the base solution project folder in VSS nicely for me.
5. I then add projects to the solution, and they automatically go under the
solution folder in VSS.

I think the key is to NOT project a name for the project when adding to VSS.
