<ExcludeFromNuPkg> not working when <HintPath> exists

[JasonMrX]

<ExcludeFromNuPkg> NOT taking effect in the following example:

<Reference Include="SomeLibrary.dll" Condition="'$(SomeKey)'=='someValue'">
  <HintPath>$(SomeHint)\SomeFolder\SomeLibrary.dll</HintPath>
  <ExcludeFromNuPkg>true</ExcludeFromNuPkg>
  <Private>true</Private>
</Reference>

To bypass the issue, we have to get rid of the <HintPath> tag, which doesn't make sense to us:

<Reference Include="$(SomeHint)\SomeFolder\SomeLibrary.dll" Condition="'$(SomeKey)'=='someValue'">
  <ExcludeFromNuPkg>true</ExcludeFromNuPkg>
  <Private>true</Private>
</Reference>

Just wondering if this is known/expected.

Thanks folks for the great work!

This project isn't maintained by its original owners any more (myself included). We encourage folks to use .NET SDK self-packaging projects or other more modern methods. NuProj is quite old compared to the latest NuGet and csproj standards.
