GIT clone on windows creates modified file

+2 votes
403 views

I normally use git on linux, though I have an installation on a Windows 7 laptop.When using it yesterday to clone a repository on my linux machine, the clonewould open with one of the files modified. I could not undo the modification. Repeated cloning would do the same thing. I then tried cloning from the originalrepo, but using a linux partition on that laptop. It worked fine. Any idea why theWindows git doesn't work?

Submodule tracking remote master shows modified on super project git status after submodule update --remote

In my superproject I have two submodules and I want them to track always master master. Using Git 1.8.2.
So I've added "branch = master" to .gitmodules and using git submodule update --remote to pull always recent master.
However everytime submodule master is updated, running superproject git status or diff shows its recorded sha1 has changed.
This doesn't make sense since I am tracking master? Shouldn't it show it has changed only when submodule HEAD is not the branch recorded in my superproject's .gitmodules ??

GIT: Multiple Keys in ssh-agent, fail to clone

We recently upgraded from Git 2.8 to 2.9 and saw an issue when there are multiple keys added to my ssh-agent.

I have two keys.
- KeyA (my company that has access to the repository I want to clone)
- KeyB (just my personal key with access to my personal stuff)

Having both keys in loaded and listed in ssh-add -L fails to clone the repository. I tried to change the order of the key in the agent but neither KeyA, KeyB nor KeyB, KeyA will work. The only case that works if I have KeyA loaded an no other key is added to the ssh-agent.

Having multiple Keys loaded works with Git 2.8 and Git 2.7 (I didn't try older versions)
Cloning fails with 'Unauthorized Access' of our Git provider. (It's Bitbucket in this case)

I read the Changelog for 2.9 and couldn't find any reference to changed key handling. Is there anything that I can add to the git clone command to get the old behavior?
