A TFS 2010 Gated Check-in Build leaves me with a .vspscc file with pending changes

Question

I have a branch in TFS 2010 that has a Gates Check-in build associated. If I add a file to my project and do a "Check in", the gated check-in build kicks in before my changes are checked in... Which is all good!

After the build completes (sucessfully), Visual Studio askes me to "Reconsile" my Pending Changes. In this case my Pending Changes windows shows two changed files before I press the Reconsile button:

• MyProject.csproj (this project that has the new file added)
• MyNewFile.cs (the new file added)

But after the reconsile operation I'm left with a new file in the Pending Changes window:

• MyProject.csproj.vspscc

If I right click this file and select "Compare" -> "With Latest Version..." I'm told the files are identical, so basically I can just ignore the file or undo it...

But it's there a way to get around this?

You can use the power tool command TFPT UU to fix this.
