This error has the following cause and solution:
The source code control provider determines this based on which folder the file is in. Though the source code control provider can map projects to directories within a project/folder subfolder, files in subdirectories or on other drives create problems, unless there already is an association between the folder that the file is coming from and a source code control provider project.
Add the specified file to a folder at the same level as, or under, the specified project. If the file is already in the source code control provider, share the file to the current project.
