I have such error in vs 2012: NuGet Package restore failed for project Miscellaneous Files: Value cannot be null or an empty string. Parameter name: root. 0 0

Not an exact answer, but best I can tell, NuGet ver. 2.8 is not available yet. I have been dealing with the same issue for sometime now (2 months). I was still able to build my solution successfully even with that error by performing the build against the main project. I am really hoping to get this issue resolved because it is a serious eyesore while working.
