Wow, that is annoying. Selecting 'skip' or 'abort file read' removes
sceneA's name string from refsSceneA (though it does keep the ref_edits).
You'd think it would still keep that info around.
I've had success find/replacing reference names in the ascii text files,
but haven't tried to fix this through Maya itself.
