Often I find that Plastic SCM shows files as “Changed” (both in the CLI and the GUI), but then looking at the file it says “Files are identical.” and nothing is changed. I have several files where this regularly occurs on: ShaderGraphSettings.asset and ProjectSettings.asset are ones I see quite a bit.
Any idea why this happens? It seems like a bug. It’s quite annoying to have to ‘undo’ identical files.
Plastic by default determines the files as changed if the file timestamp changes.
If you want to change it Plastic checks the file to determine a file as changed, you can change it in the Plastic GUI Preferences, but it will make the pending changes calculation slower.
