.\build FixProjects quirk

[M-Zuber]

Somehow I ended up with the situation that the Mono* projects had files, but the default did not.
Running the script does not fix it.

This may be a freak problem so not worth fixing.

The list of files in the project cascade from the default project out to the others, so you won't see the default project update. Sounds like it's by design, but I'd love to hear about what was responsible for adding the files to the Mono* projects - perhaps something else is involved here...

So here is the story:
I did a git pull on a computer that I had not done so for a while.
For some reason it updated all the .csproj files correctly - except for the default.
Weirder is that once I included the files manually - git told me that there were changes in the .csproj - namely lines not in the right place.

So it knew the files existed and where supposed to be included but VS did not.

Is it possible because I had VS open during this whole saga?
oh, btw I am not on Git for Windows fast loop so that should not be the problem #troll

So just a note on this topic, what ive found is FixProjects will add files from Octokit into all the other projects. But if you then decide you want to remove that file, the FixProjects command doesnt REMOVE files from the sub projects. It would be nice for FixProjects to remove files 😀

@ryangribble That would be nice. So basically if the file isn't on disk, remove it? I'd love that.

Which reminds me, I started a project called ProjectCop that could handle this. Someday I'll ship it.
