Description

In my FAKE branch I'm in the sad position that I need to merge back and forth. And one thing slowly driving me insane are the merge conflicts in the automatically generated choose nodes in the fsproj files.

We should have extracted them into target files from the beginning. This way I could ignore them on merge conflicts (or gitignore them when paket creates them on restore).

Is Visual Studio supporting that currently?

Research direction

Start by examining the generated fsproj files and their automatically generated choose nodes. Investigate whether Visual Studio supports extracting those nodes into target files, then determine the required Paket behavior and how generated files could avoid merge conflicts. Done means a documented, validated approach with no unresolved design questions.
