+title: (Windows) OsPath build of git-annex shows files needlessly modified in git status
+---
+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I've found some small undesirable behaviour or some kind of regression with the two recent releases
+of git-annex employing the OsPath build flag / code path on Windows (NTFS). The problem is that
+`git status` sometimes shows recently `get` or `drop`'ed annexed files as modified (when in fact
+they are really not) and no amount of `git restore` commands issued will rectify the situation
+when it happens. However, by disabling the `ospath` flag in `stack.yaml` and then rebuilding
+git-annex the problem seems to go away.
+
+I'm not sure I can fabricate a clean test case by just by conjuring up a few commands, so I have
+made a reasonably small version of my repo once again by employing the tip [[tips/splitting_a_repository]].
+It has only a dozen or so rather non-personal files related to a git-annex bug report from about four
+years back. I can make it available to Joey via email, if so desired. Due to tiny, remaining
+privacy reasons (it includes metadata *not* data as such and the files are really of no consequence
+to anybody even if made public), I'd still prefer to not link the tarball here.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+The following steps are in Git Bash.

+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+

+backups, where it gives structure to my image-based backup routines, so you could
+say I'm a believer. :)
