Description

Using Paket version 5.173.1

When I use paket remove to remove a dependency from a specific project (using the --project flag), every app.config in my repo gets updated. I notice that it's removing binding redirect information that was added when I did paket install --redirects.

paket add has a --redirects flag, but it looks like paket remove does not. Could it be added, to avoid this problem?

Research direction

Start by locating the existing paket add --redirects option and the code path for paket remove with --project. Add equivalent redirect handling for removal, ensuring unrelated app.config files retain binding redirects, then verify the reported scenario against the existing add behavior.
