The files themselves are identical before deleting and after restoring and their access rights are also unchanged. What is actually different is that all the conflicting files so far had older versions stored by Lion's "file versions" feature. The restored copies do not have such a version history. Since "file versions" cannot be deactivated, editing a file with an application that supports it (e.g. TextEdit) will basically result in strange git conflicts later.

Hi,

is that problem reproducable? It seems so.

Could provide a simple demo, what you have done and how to reproduce the error?
 
If that is the case, chances that we can reproduce it are much better.
And so are the chances that somebody reading this list can help you.

>Lion's "file versions" feature..
Are the files identical when you run e.g. md5sum on them?
And what does a simple "ls" from a terminal say?
