OK, it seems to only affect files with CRLF endings - my working copy
has some files with CRLF, some only LF (but not mixed in the same
file). I have autocrlf ON, globally, it was set by git for Windows.
Doing a bit of debugging, I could see that the files were failing to
match on time-stamp and then (presumably) failing on content because
of CRLF != LF. I confess I wasn't able fully to understand the logic
behind contentCheck.

However - updating jgit to 5.5.1 did fix the problem.

So I believe the problem will be solved by putting in a PR to Netbeans
for updating their jgit to 5.5.1
