Our team just modified our setup to have multiple projects that share a common codebase via symlinks. Building the projects works just fine, but two annoying side-effects have occurred because of it.

1. When clicking on a script in Unity to open in Monodevelop, all code assist will be broken when working in that file. However, if I open the file from monodevelop, everything code-assist wise works. I can deal with this, but a workaround would be nice.

2. whenever I modify any file in monodevelop and save, upon clicking on Unity, a ~10+ sec re-import occurrs for the modified files. This gets really annoying when bouncing back and forth between editor and mono. Previously, the reimport/recompile would happen on play.

I am assuming these quirks are sideeffects of having a symlinked codebase. Some research seems to point to using hardlinks, but I was unable to get them to work right.
