After your patch there isn't a crash when removing out-of-project files 
however I'm unable to add files back in because 
ProjectNodeBuilder::FindParentFolderNode() fails.  How should we address the 
fundamental issue that FindParentFolderNode() simply won't be able to find 
the file inside of the tree?  

How should we handle the condition where FindParentFolderNode() returns null 
in ProjectNodeBuilder::AddFile()?  It seems like we need a ITreeBuilder but 
I'm not sure if just creating one using the project base directory is good 
enough since that doesn't address linking a file into a nested project 
directory...
