I created a file (call it file1) in windows and copied it into a folder tracked by git which contained one other file – we’ll call this file2. When I navigate to that folder in git, it appears as though I’m in some alternate-universe version of the same folder. They both show file2 just fine, but only windows explorer shows file1. If I delete file2 in git or windows, it has no effect in the other service.

How do I like, get them to be the same folder? Where the hell is this git version?
