Why are these files not included?

I just noticed these 4 files aren't checked in. They aren't in ignore.conf. Any idea why they weren't added? I can manually add them but I was just curious what happened.

Hi @ccfoo242, great question! When a new Plastic SCM workspace is created via the Unity Plugin in the Editor, a default checkin is performed that pushes a common subset of Project Settings and Packages-related files/folders. This includes all the Project Settings that you see with a green check-mark. This was meant to help ensure that users didn't forget to include these files, as they were vital for sharing important settings across workspaces.

However, this default checkin template was created a couple years ago, and Unity Projects have gotten more intricate over time. That's why there are new settings that aren't getting pushed along with the rest of the files in the default checkin. We just didn't know about them at the time and the default checking template hasn't been updated yet.

What we could do is opt to just push everything in the Project Settings folder in that default checkin, but we don't have full control over what other Unity teams decide to put in this folder. The Plastic team would want to verify that this would be a safe option to go with before doing that.

I'll certainly pass this feedback along to the dev team so that we can review it. For now, manually checking in these extra Project Settings is just a necessary step when getting started with a new URP project. I hope this helped to explain why some files are pushed by default while others aren't.
