What
New code compares three versions of a git project (the older starting point, your version and the incoming version) to list files changed on both sides, which is where conflicts can happen. It:
- Skips dotfiles (hidden files whose names start with a dot)
- Skips editor temporary and swap files
- Caps the list at 50 files
- Tidies quote-like characters when showing file names
Why
When changes are brought together, this gives a short list of the files most likely to clash, without noise from hidden or temporary files.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
The finding does not say which command or feature shows this list.
