Hi
Am using Visual studio and Git. When I open a solution, it automatically includes folder path in project file.
<Folder include="sample\"> // New entry
<Folder include="sample\sub_sample1"/> // This one was there already.
Looks like the newly added tag is correct, but wondering I didn't have this issue before meaning earlier my project file did not have tag for just "sample\" and my project file was not checked out automatically. I can add this tag to this file as simple solution but want to know why it is checking out suddenly. Please help me to understand the cause for this behavior. THanks!

csprojfile and then close all VS instances, after that rename(or delete) thebin,objand the hidden.vsfolders then build your solution and check if this issue persists. I tested on my side but I failed to reproduce your issue. Could you share a simple reproduced sample and some related steps with me for further check(by using OneDrive)? Besides, does this issue appear in newly created project? -

2020-09-21T08:42:57.403+00:00 Hi Ravi, is your issue solved after renaming(or deleting) the
bin,objand the hidden.vsfolders? Besides, did you set some configurations in Git? And was this line<Folder include="sample\sub_sample1"/>added automatically by VS or added manually by yourself?
