[Possible Bug] checksum.txt conflicts

[unbirthdays]

Hi.

I see that a lot of these pull requests are having conflicts with checksum.txt files. I noticed that there's a checksum.txt in the repo, but it is not properly ignoring these files. I think the issue is because it's not looking in subdirectories for the checksum.txt files.

A possible solution would be to change the checksum.gitignore contents from

checksum.txt

to

**/checksum.txt

Let me know if this could be a solution or if this was intentional!

Thanks.

The documentation behind this behaviour and why can be found here:

• ServiceNow Docs: Source Control Integration
• ServiceNow Docs: Move application files in a Git repository
• ServiceNow Developer: GitHub Guide - Checksum Issues

The .gitignore file also seems to be a template because normally these do not have a prefix. This should be addressable
