Opening script in mono develop, Unity 3.5

Unity Engine
1

I am trying to upgrade to Unity 3.5. My project seems to upgrade (yes I backed it up) properly with no errors. If i double click on any script in my project now, it seems to fail to load into mono-develop. The same thing happens to scripts that were just part of standard assets that I had imported (before the conversion). I can edit these files outside of mono-develop, but without mono-develop I cant debug which i need desperately. This doesnt seem to happen with scripts from angry bots, that came with 3.5. I tried a reinstall of 3.5 but that did not help. The error i get looks like so:

Could not open file: C:\MyCode\UnityProjects\AR_Renderer_Unity\Assets\Standard Assets\Character Controllers\Sources\Scripts\CharacterMotor.js.

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'NGit.Util.FS' threw an exception. ---> System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.

I am also noticing that all the assets in my converted projects no longer have a.meta file associated with them. I had turned on external source control (because i have everything checked into a git repository), that caused the creation of these meta files. But the no longer exist in my converted project.

Please help, Im desperate, if it cant be corrected i need to go back to 3.4.2, but how do I do that?

Thx,

Ryan

In case anyone comes across this problem again. Tried many things before I found what seemed to work. Exporting everything as a unity package and reimporting into a new project seem to correct this issue.

A number of issues have crept up when using 3.5 in addition to this one, that forced be to revert back to 3.4.2 regardless.

This is what happens if your project is in a Git repository. Windows+Git+MonoDevelop is a lethal combination. To fix this, go into MonoDevelop → Tools → Add-in Manager → Version Control - and then disable Git support.
