Paket install removes assembly bindings in app.config

See original GitHub issue

In my Windows app with .NET Framework 4.6.2:

When I throw away the packages folder to start fresh and then run paket install, the assembly bindings get removed from the app.config file of each project.

I manually have to undo all changes to the app.config files before checking them in. Otherwise my application throws a big fat error because of invalid assembly references.

If you don’t care about your app.config getting a little bit messy, you can add redirects: force to the group, then redirects will be added for all packages, regardless of whether they are actually needed or not.
