For some reason one of my config file keeps on getting deleted

When I launch my instance my project is there but it’s modified by having one of my default config files removed. “reactor/config/default.yaml” It’s just a normal yaml file and should not be associated with any codenvy type config file.

Reproduction Steps:

[First Step] Start and checkout a project containing the file.

[Second Step] Wait until the instance stops (not sure why it shutdown in the first place actually)

[Other Steps…] Boot instance back up.

Expected behavior: File should be there since it’s part of my project and checked into git.

Observed behavior:

File is deleted and my project has one modification.

There are no work arounds right now other than removing it from .gitignore. It’s a real problem and has been documented in about 20 issues and will be addressed in a future version.
