SourceSafe Data Tree |
 |
 | A SourceSafe 'database' is a plain file tree and not a Codd style relational database. |
| To spread the files out evenly, a take-a-next-letter-for-better service round-robin scheme
is managed by the aaaaaaaa.cnt file. Each new file is added to the next letter directory.
For example files 1-26 are placed successively into a-z, and then we start at a again. |
| Each logical file or project is backed by two files in SourceSafe: a 'Log' and 'Data' file. |
| The um.dat control file contains the names of the users of the system. |
| The names.dat control file contains project and file name strings. |
