Another C0006 Metadata file could not be found

We have a near-dirt-simple console app that connects to a database we’re using in an MVC app. When I went to compile the console app, I got the C0006 error on the EntityFramework.dll and EntityFramework.SqlServer.dll files. Other console apps that we have compiled fine.

The name of the repo had spaces in it. When we cloned the repo, those spaces were converted to %20. Removing those %20s fixed it. I assume that some portions of the code were taking the %20 literally, and others were converting them to spaces.
