Should the conversion-report.txt file be in the .gitignore file? I had a clean working tree yesterday and shut my laptop down. Then today when I turned it on and ran git status in my local repo, it said `modified: conversion-report.txt`. I hadn’t even opened a designer or anything, why would this file change then? Should it be in the .gitignore file? ---

You can safely ignore `conversion-report.txt` in your .gitignore. It gets updated on gateway restart when the project converter inspects for any 7.9 projects that need converted from the internal DB format to the 8.x file-based format.
