I've setup TFS source control as follows to accommodate a project in multiple solutions to use NuGet package restore without the hint paths causing issues:

This NuGet repo structure works, my problem is that the .tfignore file is not working and I need some guidance on how to set up the .tfignore file to accommodate this 'common repo' structure.
Structure:
Root
|-packages
|-SharedProject
|-Solution1
-Uses SharedProject using Project Reference
|-Solution2
-Uses SharedProject using Project Reference
Things I've tried:
.tfignore file at the root level, sibling to the "packages" folder I want to ignore with the following text:
packages
.tfignore in each solution root, pointing back up to the "packages" folder I want to ignore using the following text:
..\packages
