BUG: `git update-index --assume-unchanged` command is unsupported in your GIT file change detection #1742

Open lonkelle opened 1 year ago

lonkelle commented 1 year ago

Description of the bug

This command forces GIT to assume certain files are unchanged always. Sublime still sees them as changed despite GitHub Desktop noticing instantly that it should no longer monitor them.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Mark a file as hidden to git: git update-index --assume-unchanged
  2. Make a change to that file.
  3. GitHub Desktop will honor the hidden status of that changed file
  4. Sublime still marks entire project folder as having changed files.

Expected behavior

Sublime should only show a blue circle "changed indicator" on the individual files (or ignore entirely) - especially not the ENTIRE folder being marked as having project changes when it actually doesn't.

Actual behavior

Sublime marks the entire project folder as change with a blue icon and git update-index --assume-unchanged files are treated just like all other files int hat regard.

I've transferred this issue to Sublime Merge as it's a git issue common between the two.

Hi @lonkelle,

Thanks for reporting this issue - I'll be investigating this further. So far I haven't been able to reproduce this issue on my end, so something unique must be happening here.

Could you confirm whether the Git CLI reports any changes? e.g. run git status in the repository directory on the command line.

As Sublime Merge uses the same Git reading library as Sublime Text, would you mind installing Sublime Merge for the purposes of debugging this issue? Sublime Merge has detailed debug information you can collect to narrow down what's going on. If you're happy to install it to debug this issue further it can be found here: https://www.sublimemerge.com/download

Once installed, if you could open the repository in question and select Help > Debug Information from the application menu and share the information here. Before sharing, please redact any information you feel is sensitive such as file paths, Git user information, and repository URLs.

Kind regards, - Dylan from Sublime HQ
