Also, what's your git version? There have been some fix-ups recently regarding the interaction between filters/textconv and assumptions of the code about dirtiness of the worktree. > > # Create tracking branch > echo -- Create tracking branch for changed file, status should be clean > git branch --track changed-text-files origin/changed-text-files > git status > > # Merge the branch > echo -- Merge the changes from the branch, now status gets unclean > git merge changed-text-files > echo > git status > git diff Do you really want the date in the checked-in version of the file? I would assume otherwise. Then your clean filter should really be the smudge filter, and you would need a clean filter to go with it (remove the date and restore the keyword).
