SUMMARY
The error message: "There are Minor inconsistencies in the Header Log for " occurs when running Analyze Build 1309 or greater on the database for the first time, where  is the eight-character SourceSafe database file name. This message is the result of eight extra bytes added to the file during the conversion process, such as after running DDCONV.

Installations of Visual SourceSafe 5.0 will experience this error message when using the -v4 directive as part of the Analyze command when run for the first time on the database, such as Analyze -v4 C:\VSS\Data.

The -v4 provides the greatest level of information from the Analyze pass and includes messages of an informational nature as well as errors.



MORE INFORMATION
The error does not represent a significant danger to the integrity of the SourceSafe Database, and is corrected when Analyze is run with the -F parameter.

Please note that Analyze -F does make changes to the data files in SourceSafe. All users must log off SourceSafe while Analyze is running with the -F switch.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you back up the database before beginning this procedure.
