Can you describe the directory structure in more detail. Where have you
checked out the git/svn controlled projects. Where did you create your new
sln/csproj file. How did you add the existing files to your new project.
The exact details of how you did this matter because in some cases the
files will be copied and in other cases they'll be linked so you could
easily be seeing the expected/desired behaviour here.

If you can create a directory structure which exhibits the bug and can
create a zip archive which we can simply unzip and open in MonoDevelop,
that would make it trivial for us to diagnose the issue.

This is not simple as typically there are dozens of files in every project
which should not be added to a normal .NET solution. For example README
files, Makefiles, build scripts, signing keys, documentation etc. It is
simply not possible to guess correctly as to which files should be added to
the solution and where they should be added.

If you can give us a clearer idea as to what you wish MonoDevelop could do,
we can look into figuring out what would be required to get it done.

Thanks,
