I am seeing project files that have been deleted from a project reappear in the project.

This occurs after a git checkout from an older branch that has the files in the project to a newer branch that does not. The .cproject and .project files are tracked in source code control, the workspace is not.

Running clean before or after checkout of the new branch does not help.

I am using the same workspace in both branches.

I do not expect to have files reappear that do not exist in the .cproject or .project files. Have I missed something about project settings?

Luna SR2 (4.4.2)
C/C++ version 8.5.0.201409172108

Are you seeing files on disk appearing unexpectedly? Or Eclipse linked files that are linked settings in .project file?

If it is the former I have no idea, is it reproducible 100% of the time? Are you using egit or command line git?

If it is the latter, I have found that newer versions of Eclipse have continuously improved at reloading meta data (like .project files) when changing branches. Perhaps you could try a newer Eclipse install. You are using 4.4.2 (code name LunaSR2), newest release is 4.6.3 (code name Neon.3).

Just file links in the Eclipse projects are reappearing.

The Eclipse version is tied to a third party branded product. I'll look into updating it if possible but I may be stuck.
