NuGet packaging hangs if content folder contains too many files

[neurospeech]

Checked and verified, till 55 content files NuGet had no problem, but when we reached 65 content files, NuGet hangs and does not create new package.

Can you please provide specific repro steps, specifically the command you ran and the types/sizes of the files you are using to generate the package

If you've uploaded the package to NuGet, please send us the link

I have this repository, https://github.com/neurospeech/atoms.js which contains "nuget/Atoms.js" folder. And you can see nuget specs.

Inside "style" folder of my repository root, I have style sheets that are included in nuget package. But it looks like, if I add more LESS files, NuGet packager halts completely if there are more than current number of files.

I had added 5 more LESS files, and I noticed the problem. Eventually, we combined all LESS files into one Unsorted.less file, that reduced total number of files, and we were able to build package.

Has there been any progress on this? Today I ran into the same problem. If the number of files is greater than a certain number (49 in my case – the file sizes don't seem to matter), nuget.exe pack never exits.

We haven't made much progress on this unfortunately. We plan to refactor pack to stop using OPC, and hopefully that should also resolve this issue.

@toddm would you check if this repros in 3.5.0?

I cloned the repo, added 10 more css files, and did a pack with 3.5.0 and it worked without any problem.
