I'm having a very obscure and frustrating bug with a third party library and want to try and fix it. I was able to find two other cases of people having the same sort of issue, both ending in issues being closed because it's near impossible to reproduce.

The author recommended cloning the project and adding it to your project and attempt to debug, so I decide to try this, but it's being a pain-in-the-ass.

The library is on Github. It's easy enough to clone, but when I try to add it to my project (which is hosted on TFS), Visual Studio throws up, throwing random The parameter is incorrect and the method or operation is not implemented errors along with various source control warnings / errors.

How in the world am I supposed to include and debug the code with my project?
