------------------------------------

             Summary: UI shows files in git repo as modified when they are not
                 Key: NETBEANS-4005
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4005
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: versioncontrol - Git
    Affects Versions: 11.2
            Reporter: Peter Hull
         Attachments: Annotation 2020-03-12 092900.jpg

The version control UI highlights files that are changed in the working directory. Under certain circumstances, the 'git' provider highlights files as changed when they are not. See the attached screen shot for an example. The file Arch.xsl and two others are in blue, but NB's own diff view shows no changes (0/0). This is confirmed by running git status/git diff from the command line.

This is a known problem associated with the version of jgit (5.5.0) bundled with NetBeans, and which was fixed in 5.5.1. See discussion [here|https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1100344/].

The update to jgit was because of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-519 and implemented in https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1528 , November 2019.

Suggested fix: update jgit to 5.5.1
