Despite .godot being put in .gitignore, some files are still tracked by git. I think because the line .godot was only added to the .gitignore file sometime after the project was initialized. Git wouldn't track new files added to the .godot folder, but it still tracks the old files, which can cause some issue.
To remove the files, what I did was to run this.
git rm -r --cached --ignore-unmatch .godot
After this PR is merged, most users would need to reimport a few files, but it should work fine. Worse case scenario, they'll need to delete their .godot folder.
Background issue
A lot of times after I sync my fork to the latest commit, I'll get these changes after I open the project in Godot.

This is despite the fact I didn't do anything to the scene. I assumed it has to do something with the .godot folder. But since some files are still tracked by git, I couldn't just remove the .godot folder because I'll see something like this.
This problem should be fixed after this PR is merged, though.
