New branch has a changes

Hi there, I ran into issue with Databricks repo. When I create new repo, it doesn't pull default branch from GitLab. I have default branch 'development', but Databricks repo pulls other branch.

Moreover this just now added repo already contains changes in one file, so it'll raise merge conflict, if I try to checkout on another branch.

It looks like a bug. Does anybody know how I can solve it?

I had a similar issue, where a few notebooks popped up as changed in every branch I created (even though they were not touched). So first I manually did the discard changes thing, but that was not a solution as with every new branch they were there again.

So I checked what was 'changed'. And that was in fact nothing so I took those 'changed' notebooks into my PR.

When merging the PR, git detected that nothing was in fact changed, so they were not merged.

On the other hand: in Databricks they would not show up anymore, so the issue seems to be fixed.

The issue popped up after an update so my guess it was indeed a bug.

I would just in the repo panel, click three dots, choose "Discard changes," and then checkout to another branch, but please backup your file before that.

Yeah, of course it will work. But, first it doesn't explain why does it happen, and second when I'm triggering my CI/CD pipeline it automatically creates a repo via REST API and then checkouts on feature branch. This logic fails cause just created repo contains changes. Databricks REST Repo API doesn't provide logic for discarding changes into the repo. And I can't discard them each time manually.
