In the standard Git storage mode, if you have a project with reference projects in
the same Git repository, the main project and its reference projects must be on the same
branch. Otherwise, to avoid losing the project references, you must manually move the main
project or each reference project to have them either in different repositories or on the same
branch in the same repository before enabling the standard Git storage mode.
If you have installed the 8.0 R2022-12 Studio monthly update or a later one provided by Talend, Talend Studio can list the invalid project references in the Preferences dialog box if you have already logged in to the projects, which helps you identify and fix the invalid project references before enabling the standard Git storage mode. If you do not manually fix the invalid project references, the main project will automatically reference the reference projects on the same branch after enabling the standard Git storage mode to avoid losing the project references.
