Community,

We seem to be experiencing a different behavior to the repository integration function within PAW with 2.0.92.  Previously we could create a new branch, add items and then later come back and add more items to that now existing branch.  Now when we create a new branch and add items, when we come back to add more objects the branch is getting overwritten with just the new.  All existing objects are being deleted.  Is anyone else seeing anything similar?  Is there a new configuration that needs to be performed?

Thanks,

Hi @Dean Watts and @Svetlana Pestsova,

This is what I tested:
Step 1: Pushing objects from the PA instance to a B1 branch in GitHub
Step 2: From the same instance, push new objects (not present in step 1) to the same B1 branch created in step 1.

Observation: in GitHub, the objects pushed in step 1 (if different from those in step 2) disappear. Only the objects pushed in step 2 are found.

I don't know if the behaviour is different from before.

Hi Dean and Bilal!

Thank you for verification. 

It's always been like that, a user needs to select all objects that are needed to be pushed.

Best regards,

So to confirm, when a user selects 'Add objects to repository' and selects an Existing branch, this REPLACES all contents of that branch. If items previously in the branch are not reselected, they will be removed.

Hi Dean,

Yes, the "replace" behavior is expected.

A new Git commit will appear as a replacement if the content in the new commit is unrelated to the content in the specified branch. In other words, the server does not do incremental change to the existing branch. Instead, it always create a new commit.

If the new commit contains some changes to the object in the old branch, the object will appear to have been changed. If the object is not in the new commit, it will appear to have been deleted.
