Databricks CLI's workspace export_dir command adds unnecessary edits despite not making any change in the workspace

[mshettar]

databricks workspace export_dir / export command with overwrite option enabled adds non-existent changes in the target directory. 1. It introduces new line deletion and 2. add/deletion of MAGIC comments despite not making any meaningful changes in the source (workspace) directory.

Steps to reproduce this issue:

1. Clone a scala repository from Gitlab.
2. Import to DB workspace from local filesystem
3. Export from DB workspace to local filesystem with overwrite enabled.
4. git diff

I am encountering this issue as well and it did not happen previously.  Additionally, you see this pattern if you are using repos internally and make a change to a notebook in another section.
