+### Please describe the problem.
+
+When checking an adjusted (unlocked) branch, after a while (a few hours), without modifying anything but running several times "git status", a lot of files are reported as "modified" by "git status".
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+On a ~1.5To repo with 1Go to 4Go files, running "git adjust --unlock" works, but after a while "git status" reports a lot of files being modified, "git restore myfiles" restores the files, but other files are reported by "git status" has modified...

+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
