Git TFS Visual Studio showing pending changes when there are none

I have just cloned a repository and the under the included changes panel in Visual Studio there were 100+ changes being detected. I did a git reset --hard and that dropped the changes to about 20.

I've also tried the git --reset hard HEAD variant. I've also tried git stash git stash drop and git checkout . A diff on the files shows they haven't been changed.

Does anyone know how I might reconcile the false changes or why this might be happening?

Solution

  • It was due to line endings. See this article for dealing with them.
