	Don't know if this is a real bug or not. I just noticed that the new 'in-IDE' Git commit feature of VS2019 16.8.2 doesn't work with .INO files. I happened to notice this because I was working on a combined C# and Arduino project where a Sparkfun Pro Micro is used to provide information to a Windows 10 C# program via USB/Serial. I have separate Git projects for both programs and decided to try the new 'in-IDE' Git commit feature. Works fine for the C# project, but produces a fatal error for the Arduino project because it can't find (or open, not sure which) the ".vs/ShotCounter/v16/Browse.VC.opendb" path. Anyone else seeing this? Frank

	Thanks for the report. I would expect this file to be in the .gitignore already in honesty. Does the error go away if you right click on the file and select ignore?

	Thanks for the quick reply. Well, sorta. I opened the C:\Users\Frank\Documents\Arduino\ShotCounter\.vs\ShotCounter\v16 folder, but all I saw was 'Browse.VC.db', not the 'Browse.VC.opendb' referred to in the error message. However, when I right-clicked on 'Browse.VC.db' and selected 'ignore', then the 'in-IDE' commit completed successfully. When I looked back into the C:\Users\Frank\Documents\Arduino\ShotCounter\.vs\ShotCounter\v16 folder, I saw that three other files had been created in addition to 'Browse.VC.db'; 'Browse.VC.db-shm', 'Browse.VC.db-wal', and 'Browse.VC.opendb' (the subject of the original error message). Curioser and curioser. I've never had to manually ignore any files before, and as I mentioned, I have always been able to successfully commit Arduino projects using the normal context-menu Git functions. Any ideas? TIA, Frank

	Thanks for the detail, and glad it improved the situation. Just to check, when you say "I have always been able to successfully commit Arduino projects using the normal context-menu Git functions", were these Visual Micro Arduino projects?

	Yes, all of them
