My problem is kind of similar here and I just found out that git is tracking the changes in file permission. I tried discarding and resetting the branch but files are still there. Run git config --get --local core.filemode, if it is true then you need to set it as false to turn off tracking of file permissions. Running git config --local core.fileMode false should solve it.
