NuGetProjects

This directory contains locally-compiled versions of projects from the NuGet.Client submodule. The *.cs files here are either copied directly from or are modified replacements of files in the vendored submodule source.

Maintenance: Submodule Updates

Whenever the NuGet.Client submodule is updated, all *.cs files under this directory must be re-checked against their corresponding originals in the submodule to ensure they remain largely in line with the upstream content.

Rules for modified files

1. No references to the NuGet.Core package. All extern alias CoreV2 usages and any other references to the legacy NuGet.Core (v2) package must be removed.
2. No .NET Framework-only APIs. Any APIs that are not compatible with .NET Core / modern .NET (e.g., System.Data.Services, WCF types, PhysicalFileSystem from CoreV2) must be removed or stubbed.
3. Keep behavior parity where possible. When removing or stubbing functionality, preserve the surrounding logic so that the project continues to compile and the packages.config update tests continue to pass.
4. Document deviations. If a file diverges significantly from its upstream counterpart, add a comment at the top of the file explaining what was changed and why.
