Git keeps obsolete files

0 votes

I've been having problems with git on Windows for a few days now:

git version 2.36.2.windows.1

In conjunction with Microsoft Azure DevOps Server 2019.

When I pull or merge, it occasionally keeps the obsolete/older file. 

It looks like git is not only checking the hash, but also somehow the timestamp and it got messed up. 

I now have a clean working tree, but the remote file differs from my local copy of the same commit hash.

How does it happen?

Example:

git fetch origin
git checkout test
git pull origin test

Then it says: Already current. 

However, when I do:

git diff --name-only origin test

Then I get a lot of files that are different.
