I think this is just a misunderstanding about how Git is working, which can be
hard to appreciate at first.
Because Git has the Staging Area/Index (equivalent to an old style Out box for
things that are Done but not yet filed) the act of adding the file makes it
appear to go away.
In addition if the file simply has a change of modification dates then Git
ignores that. As a version control system, the only date that matters is the
date that it is 'committed' (i.e. approved) for storing in the respository. All
other dates are transitory. This can also be unexpected, but is the norm for
version systems (as opposed to say a Zip file).
Hope that helps in the understanding...

Subject: [git-users] Git on Windows marks file as "modified" even it has no
changes
Hi all.
I copied file from different folder over file in my repository. Contents are
the same, only modification date differs.
But file is marked as "changed". But when I "stage" it -- it simply
disappears from list.
Modified:
>git status | findstr flake8
modified: flake8_v3_plugin.py
No diff:
>git diff flake8_v3_plugin.py
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in
python/helpers/pycharm/teamcity/flake8_v3_plugin.py.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
And after staging
>git stage flake8_v3_plugin.py
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in
python/helpers/pycharm/teamcity/flake8_v3_plugin.py.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
It disappeared
>git status | findstr flake8
Some kind of known issue, or should I report bug?
Ilya.
