Why is Git pull/fetch not getting latest?

Hi, I found something strange with git, maybe my lack of experience. I did a git pull/fetch from existing git checkout, and a fresh git pull for 3.17, and initialize the dependencies. Both have no local modifications, I did a directory compare and found some files differences.

One example below. Shouldn’t a git pull get the same as a fresh checkout?

you need to manually run download-deps after you git pull

wow, ok thanks. Should be noted somewhere in doc.

It is noted in the README and other docs we have as well.
