Source tracking reflects file system after push

[geoffswift]

Summary

Source tracking updated with current code on file system, rather than what was actually deployed.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Make some code changes
2. Start a push to your scratch org
3. Change your code code locally before the push completes (e.g. switch to another branch)
4. Try to push -> sf reports there is nothing to push

The org is updated with the code changes from step 2, but source tracking reflects stage 3.

Expected result

Changes made after the push started should be ignored when updating source tracking.

Actual result

Source tracking is out of sync with the org.

hey, sorry for the late reply.

I don't think this will be possible, source-tracking relies on the local project/shadow git repo to get local state info (see file moves for example).

there's also some specific checks for types like bundles: https://github.com/forcedotcom/source-tracking/blob/23350966ab00e58aba4d35d265e07d246b396c52/src/sourceTracking.ts#L466C1-L477C8
