Hi, I tried opening data/geany.glade with the latest Glade, 3.8.1 on Windows. Pressing Save writes a lot of changes to the file, 260 Kb. It seems to be mostly reordering property tag lines for "use_action_appearance".
Also, when I added 2 menu items it created duplicate image ids for image1, image2.
Not sure what this means.
What version of Glade created the file? Maybe if I can use the same version I won't get the reordering noise in the diff.
I can't remember 100% but I think it was either 3.6.x or 3.8.x. I did however just make this[1] change with 3.8.0 for sure recently.
IMO, if you can't get the changes down to less, it doesn't really matter if there's a bunch of noise in the commit, it's not like anyone really needs to be able to read it, as long as the commit message describes what was changed and it's not just Windows munging the file (with \r\n, etc.).
