Moving asmdef file together with scripts causes nonstandard compile errors

Scripting

-

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open user attached project
2. Drag-and-drop the script and the asmdef file into the folder. Make sure to drag-and-drop both at the same time
3. Console outputs: Source file `Assets/NewBehaviourScript.cs' could not be found

Expected result: moving asmdef file together with scripts should not cause nonstandard compile errors

Reproduced in: 2018.1.0b1, 2017.3.0p1, 2017.3.0b1

  1. Resolution Note:

    This particular case has been investigated thoroughly and we have decided, in the interests of protecting the stability and features of Unity for users that rely upon the affected versions, to not address this fix for the time being. We understand that this will cause problems for some users, and so may address in a future version.

    I believe this issue is breaking some CI tools. It also makes it more difficult to switch between branches of the project.

    Example:
    A - Initial commit
    B - Another commit
    C - Commit, where the above issue is introduced
    D - Another commit
    E - Latest commit

    If I check out B, then try to check out E, I get the above compile error. If there are some branches at older commits (before C) and other branches on more recent commits (after C), then an automatic build tool will fail any time it goes from an older to a newer branch. Unless it runs a completely clean build every time, which ideally would only happen for the nightly build and not for the push-triggered incremental builds.
