Source control systems may modify hidden files locally when performing a commit; some have historically utilized the resource fork of the particular file instead to keep that commit/modified state. Still others may choose to use an xattr to track this.
The bottom line is that the only real guarantee of a file being changed during a commit is within the repository of a source control system, not your local sandbox. - Gary L.
