Description

The VisualStudio.Addin's ReferenceManager.cs simply checks for the presence of a snapshot artifact file in the local repo, and if it's present it copies it to the project's reference folder. No attempt to check the remote snapshot state

To fix this I did the following:

In ReferenceManager.cs line 94, replace:
if (!artifact.FileInfo.Exists)
with
if (!artifact.FileInfo.Exists || artifact.Version.EndsWith("SNAPSHOT"))
