title: ExcludeVersion for existing NuGet references
body: <p>I have seen that NuGet.exe contains an ExcludeVersion flag when installing packages. We have a solutions which already contains a large number of references. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Reference Include="Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91, processorArchitecture=MSIL"&gt;
    &lt;Private&gt;True&lt;/Private&gt;
    &lt;HintPath&gt;..\packages\Microsoft.SqlServer.Scripting.11.0.2100.61\lib\Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll&lt;/HintPath&gt;
  &lt;/Reference&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there an easy way to update all of these existing references to not include the version number (11.0.2100.61 above) in the folder path? Originally these references were all added using the package manager in Visual Studio, but I don't see any way of specifying to not include the version number.</p>
