Safe move .net project to subfolder with reference update

Question

Here the story, at first I created new empty solution with name TestSolution. Next I added new project with name TestProject and add EntityFramework 6.1.3 reference via NuGet Package Manager. After that NuGet Package Manager create folder packages and add Reference

<Reference Include="EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <HintPath>..\packages\EntityFramework.6.1.3\lib\net45\EntityFramework.dll</HintPath>
  <Private>True</Private>
</Reference>

After a while I decided to create subfolder with name Subfolder and move TestProject there.

I excepted what new Reference will looks like

<Reference Include="EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <HintPath>..\..\packages\EntityFramework.6.1.3\lib\net45\EntityFramework.dll</HintPath>
  <Private>True</Private>
</Reference>

How can I move project and update references without manual update project files?

Can you argue why? I can update reference with Update-Package -reinstall command but can I move project I elegant way? — Alex Pashkin, Oct 12 '16 at 09:19

Possible solution is

Move visual studio project in one command is not possible and you should using one of the following solutions in Visual Studio move project to a different folder Unforunately you should do all the work manually
Call Update-Package -reinstall in Nuget Package Manager console
