Repository root should be project root about uegitplugin HOT 4 CLOSED

Showing reverting source control while submitting is normal, part of Unreal. The problem is that the plugin assumes the Content folder is at the root of the repo. Unfortunately I don't have time to address this workflow at the moment but you can look into modifying the plugin to add /UE/ to RepositoryRoot, or using a submodule for the UE repo. Might have time later to do it myself but not guaranteed.

I modified GitSourceControlRevision.cpp line 30 to append the subfolder and rebuilt the plugin but the change seems to have had no effect. Did I modify the correct thing? I tried:
const FString PathToRepositoryRoot = Provider.GetPathToRepositoryRoot() + "/UE/";
and
const FString PathToRepositoryRoot = Provider.GetPathToRepositoryRoot() + "\\UE";

Thinking that the the best way is to GetPathToProject (the UE project) and not the repository root. This lets any UE project at any level at or below the repo root work. git will commit and push from subfolders no problem. That said, manually (in bash cli outside of UE) doing a git add/commit/push from the repo root works fine so, as you say, the plugin itself has this assumption and there may be more tentacles to it.

This is correct, I will look into this. A bit complicated and scary to change but I should be able to fix it.
