When you create a web site project, VS puts web sites in their own dir under My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites.

Oddly, when you try adding the solution (or sometimes project) from the main UI, it asks to create it in My Documents\Visual Studio 2005, which is Bad™. Instead...

  • Go to the switch providers/binding window
  • Bind the web site project, which will ask you to git init in the right place.
  • Don't bind the solution from here, but instead accept, then try adding the solution now. It should ask you init in the right spot under Projects.

VS' bizarre split behaviour is workaround-able but confusing. It makes sense when you realize it treats projects as special though.

It would be useful to display contexts on everything as a result, because this means VS will keep multiple instances open

VS has a tendency to initially think the solution binding is also invalid....
