Description
**[Konrad Windszus](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=kwin)** opened **[SCM-996](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-996?redirect=false)** and commented
Currently `ScmManager.checkIn(...)` behaves differently for the different git providers with respect to files which have not been added/removed with ScmManager API before.
This is related to SCM-970, but aims at making both git providers behave the same for the existing API.
The following table lists the status quo for modified files when `ScmManager.checkIn(...)` is performed
||Provider||ScmManager.checkIn(...) with fileSet empty||ScmManager.checkIn(...) with fileSet not empty
|git|index not modified prior commit|files in fileSet added to index prior commit
|jgit|index updated for modified files prior commit|files in fileSet added to index prior commit

Research direction
Start by comparing the git and jgit provider implementations behind ScmManager.checkIn(...), using the status table as the behavioral reference. Verify how empty and non-empty fileSet values affect modified files and the index, then confirm that both providers produce the same behavior while preserving the existing API.
