How can I avoid "Add to source control" etc.?

Hi all,

VS 2003 shows a very strange behaviour when I add existing items to a
controlled project:

- if the items are not under source control, VS automatically adds them
to source control.
- if they are under source control, VS checks them out!


Does anybody know how I can prevent VS from this "too much of intelligence?"


Thanks,

Stefan

Uninstall the VSS integration - AFIAK that's the only way to control that
behavior.

I wouldn't like to turn off the complete source control integration.

Maybe there is a way to control that in the next VS Version!

Unlike VS 6.0 integration, you must specifically mark a file as being
excluded using the File->Source Control->Exclude File From Source Control
menu item, then the icon changes and it doesn't ever try to add it again, or
show it as checked out.

Too bad we can't get "classic" integration like the integration in VS 6.0.
