Context
MSBuild currently loads all files whose name starts with
Microsoft.DevDiv
as read-only. It is breaking scenarios where such files are legitimately written to. It is unfortunate to use hard-codes names in general.Changes Made
Removed the special handling.
Testing
Ideally would verify that the Visual Studio repo builds fine with this change but it looks like too much hassle for such a safe change (famous last words).
