Description Maxime Jeanmart CLA 2011-04-19 06:08:14 EDT
Build Identifier: M20110210-1200

Each time I merge 2 branches (either from same repo or from origin), I have all my files flagged as changed and must commit them all. 
It's hard after that to verify if the merge was correctly done because we don't have a way to quickly see what changed.
Remark: using eGit+jGit 0.11.3


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Created the repository using "git extensions"
2. creates a Java project in repository
3. share the project
4. add 3 classes: A, B, C
5. create "work" branch, checkout
6. edit A, commit
7. checkout master
8. edit B, commit
9. checkout "work"
10. edit A, commit
11. checkout master
12. merge with "work"
13.now all files are marked "Mod., not staged", including C.java, .classpath and .project.
Comment 1 Maxime Jeanmart CLA 2011-04-21 03:26:27 EDT
it seems the reason why it happens is because I created the repository using git extensions. Up to you to decide if you support those repositories or not...
Comment 2 Robin Rosenberg CLA 2011-09-13 22:59:02 EDT
Could this be related to line-endings?
Comment 3 Maxime Jeanmart CLA 2011-10-03 13:07:44 EDT
Maybe, but this seems to be linked to how the repository was first created since this only happens when it was created using "git extensions" tools. So I was thinking more about some repository settings.

Probably configuration related. If not, please open with more information.
