Whenever I find messed up bindings I always follow the same process:

• Close VS
• Open the SLN file in Notepad.
• Remove the GlobalSection (sometimes more than 1) that contains all the SCC elements
• Check the csproj file has the 4 <Scc**> elements with a value SAK. If not update all 4 to be SAK (see below).
• Open the SLN file in VS.
• Select the Solution at the top of Solution Explorer
• File, Source Control, Advanced, Change Source Control
• Find the Solution in the list and select it.
• Click the "Bind" button.

This usually sorts it for me when you re-open it, everything is OK.

The <Scc**> elements should look like this:

<SccProjectName>SAK</SccProjectName>
<SccLocalPath>SAK</SccLocalPath>
<SccAuxPath>SAK</SccAuxPath>
<SccProvider>SAK</SccProvider>
