Summary: Directory support in votive projects

Initial Comment:
Multiple issues:

Directory support is handled different compared to 
regular VS projects. That may not be a bug, but it is 
somewhat confusing.

When a directory is added from within VS, votive tries to 
create the directory on disk. If the directory already 
exists, this fails. However, there is no possibilty to use 
an already existing directory, since you cannot 
use "Add existing..." and use that (or maybe you can 
and I just haven't bothered to look close enough).

When a new directory is added and created by votive, it 
is called "NewFolder". If one tries to change the name 
from withing VS, an error pops up, saying that the new 
directory name does not exist. Thereafter, votive 
changes the name on disk. If one tries to change the 
name on disk first, and then from within VS, votive still 
complains.

To reproduce:
1. Create a new directory by right-clicking on the project 
in the Solution Explorer and clicking Add -> New Folder.
2. Type the name of the folder and press enter.

Votive complains that the folder does not exist and then 
fails with an assertion.

If two directories are created from within VS, and one 
tries to change the name of the second directory, this 
fails with the error message "Index was out of range. 
Must be non-negative and less than the size of the 
collection. Parameter name: index"

Sorry about the delay.

I am currently using v2.0.3116.0. I haven't been able to install 
v2.0.3220.0 due to bug 1265941.

Can you specify which build you are using? I believe these 
issues have been fixed, but it's possible that I have a 
regression.
