NCS 3.0.2 Windows: west update shows all files as modified

[nor_tri]

After a fresh installation of NCS 3.0.2 SDK and toolchain via the VScode extension, all west modules are reporting modifications:

PS C:\ncs\v3.0.2\zephyr> west status
=== status of manifest (nrf):
HEAD detached at v3.0.2
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: applications/serial_lte_modem/scripts/slm_start_ppp.sh
modified: applications/serial_lte_modem/scripts/slm_stop_ppp.sh
....

The modifications are related to the file modes:

PS C:\ncs\v3.0.2\zephyr> git diff
diff --git a/arch/x86/gen_gdt.py b/arch/x86/gen_gdt.py
old mode 100755
new mode 100644
diff --git a/arch/x86/gen_idt.py b/arch/x86/gen_idt.py
old mode 100755
new mode 100644

Is this a git checkout configuration problem?

Hello,

My west knowledge might come to short here, but I believe this is just the difference between the checked out tag (v3.0.2) and the main branch that our nRF Connect SDK developers are working on. I see that this is also the case if you are looking at the "west status" for older NCS releases (v3.0.1, v3.0.0, v2.9.0, ...).

Note that it is not the case for v2.9.1, because this is currently the latest release on the v2.9 branch. I guess if we ever release a v2.9.2, with some critical fix, then that would be the case for v2.9.1 as well.

Best regards,

Edvin

There is no different in file content. I think this is a Windows file permission problem. It makes it hard to detect real changes that were done in the NCS tree.
