Yes, it's safe. Basically, the only set of files really needed for maintaining a .NET project by the Microsoft IDE are those containing XML in them. The `msbuild` tool which does actual heavy lifting consumes files ending in '*.proj' (or '*.csproj' or '*.vbproj' or whatever), plus there is a top-level XML file which represents "the solution" and its settings, and references those "project files" consumed by msbuild. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
