`dvc status` reports changed checksum when it should not

Bug Report

Please provide information about your setup

Output of dvc version:

1.1.6

Additional Information (if any):

Am not sure if it's a bug, but I have an unexplained behavior with dvc status.
In my repo, there are around 500+ files, each with their own dvc file.
After doing a dvc pull, when I run dvc status, the output contains a lot of files with status changed checksum.
If I run dvc status --cloud, it says "Data and pipelines are up to date.".

Most of the files were added a while ago (with 0.90 version), and don't show up in the dvc status output. Their dvc file looks like:

outs:
- md5: 1bde15f3ad495f8d626c6ad1d294133a
  path: expected-output.png

The files showing up in dvc status were added more recently and their dvc file looks like:

md5: ba1443b70c6ff71d5531284f21c080c9
outs:
- md5: fc66af77ab971e2dc2b28565f0e19510
  path: 000011.png
  cache: true
  metric: false
  persist: false

Were the second set of files added with the wrong command (am not the one who added them so I don't know how they were adeed)? Or is it an issue with dvc status ?

Thanks.

@jnd77 Looks like those are mixed up. The upper one is how current dvc files look like. We've changed the way we format them i n 1.0, so you just need to dvc commit in order to make dvc status happy 🙂

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Indeed, it was mixed up. Doing a dvc commit fixed the issue.
