You are correct. It is a Windows issue. Please see this post:

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.

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
