Bug 337660

Description Marcel Bruch 2011-02-20 05:23:59 EST

I'm experiencing a strange behavior in EGit during commit.

I modified a resource and committed per EGit UI. But after commit the resources stays in "modified state" (indicated by the star on the lower right corner). Repeatedly committing this resource doesn't fix this. Worse, this change now shows up in all subsequent commits. 

Looking at the logs I could see that Egit actually made an empty commit each time:

First commit with EGit:

Holzfisch:org.eclipse.recommenders Marcel$ git show 1d07a5626dde6e08f3c93d79f7af1a39b8d923dd

Resource stays in changed mode.
Second commit with EGit:

$ git show 233255ceb6e118c77fa93befe76909b4ae3399f4

    committed again? Egit bug?

Third commit: After committing per command line, the commit looks as follows:

$ git show f899bc78a3ee07f176ec3c53c016dd6a366af31c
commit f899bc78a3ee07f176ec3c53c016dd6a366af31c

    egit bug from command line?

diff --git a/org.eclipse.recommenders.rcp/src/org/eclipse/recommenders/internal/rcp/RecommendersNatureToggleAction.java 
old mode 100644
new mode 100755
$

and the "changed" marker in EGit are all gone. I can't reproduce this more exactly because most of the time commits just works.
