Add NuGet Packages Folder to Solution File?

Nuget puts the package in my root folder(in my case my trunk folder). I am wondering is there a way to let VS 2010 know about this folder? I开发者_如何转开发 am using ankh svn to do my commuting so it would be really nice to have it in my solution so when I add a reference I can commit it from VS 2010 and not have to go to my trunk and manually do it.

Can this be done?

You may be interested in reading this NuGet doc:

Using NuGet without committing packages to source control

The easiest way to do this currently is by using the Working Copy Explorer (View -> Working Copy Explorer). From here you can browse your solution folder, and add the reference.

I added the idea to enhance this to the AnkhSVN feedback forum, please go vote :-)

You should consider 'don't commit packages workflow'. It is much more mature solution:

You can add the packages directory as a web project. I use TFS so the only issue is after adding a package I need to include these files to the source control but at least there visible...
